Raúl Zibechi on the importance of the El Sur Resiste Caravan

Raúl Zibechi reflects on the Caravan "El Sur Resiste"
"There is a profound interaction between resistances and other worlds. The construction of realities different from the hegemonic ones feeds resistance, because in these spaces people find oxygen and at the same time project the type of society in which they wish to live. The interesting thing is that this dual dynamic of resistance and construction of the new has become the common sense of the people."

International Encounter "El Sur Resiste": Essential Reflections for Our Times
|
|
|
|
Nautical charts for tempestuous times. There is no doubt that the words shared at the International Meeting "Global corporate capitalism, planetary patriarchy, autonomies in rebellion", which took place at the Caracol Jacinto Canek, in San Cristóbal de Las Casas, on May 6 and 7, are just that. These are some essential reflections that help us navigate the troubled times we live in.

Manuel Gómez Vázquez, Prisoner for Struggling
|
|
|
Many say it is madness to resist the system, but in reality, it is madness not to resist it, wrote Mumia Abu-Jamal, the black panther who has been a political prisoner for 41 years and recognizes the contributions of the Zapatista struggle. Manuel Gómez Vázquez is one of those who resist the system, and his resistance is the reason he is in jail.
|
|
Manuel, the Zapatista imprisoned for struggling, that is, for being a Zapatista, should be released immediately.
