On March 8th, 2015, International Women’s Day, the mothers of the 43 disappeared students of Ayotzinapa broke down borders by sending a powerful video-message to the global gathering “Women’s Struggles Transform the World!” held in New York and convoked by Movement for Justice in El Barrio.
The worldwide struggle of the 43 disappeared of Ayotzinapa has been headed by the mothers of the students. These amazing mothers have touched the hearts and motivated countless people from throughout the world to join with them. A living testament that this “other world” we desire is currently being inspired and created, from the bottom-up, by women. The mothers of the 43 chose to break down borders with this heartfelt video-message which is yet another reminder of their contribution to movements everywhere.

The Most Expensive Building in the World
Subcomandante Insurgente Moisés. Subcomandante Insurgente Galeano.
February-March, 2015
[showtime]
It is the eve of the big day… in the wee hours of the morning. The cold bites under the cover of shadow. On the solitary table that furnishes this small hut (which has no sign but is known to now be the headquarters of the Zapatista Command), there is a handwritten, wrinkled sheet of paper detailing the accounts for the construction of the clinic-school in the Zapatista community of La Realidad. A voice summarizes the gazes, silences, smoke, rage:
The accounts don’t balance. The life of any Zapatista is worth more than Peña Nieto’s white house and the houses of all of the rich in the whole world combined. The entirety of the funds required to construct the huge buildings where the powerful hide in order to organize their thievery and crimes would not be enough to pay for a even a single drop of Indigenous Zapatista blood. That is why we feel that this is the most expensive building in the world.
So must state clearly that what doesn’t appear in the accounts is the blood of our compañero Galeano. All of the papers in the history of the world would not be enough to balance that account.
And so that is how it should appear in those lists that come out in the press where they name the richest people, and where the poorest live. The rich have first names, last names, lineage, and pedigree. But the poor only have a geography and a calendar. So they should say that the most expensive building on the whole planet is in Zapatista La Realidad, Chiapas, Mexico. And that the Indigenous Zapatista girls and boys attend the most expensive school in the world. And that the men, women, boys, girls, elderly, indigenous, Zapatistas, Mexicans, when they get sick in La Realidad, will be treated in the most expensive clinic on earth.
But the only way to balance these accounts is to struggle to destroy the capitalist system. Not to change it. Not to improve it. Not to make it more human, less cruel, less murderous. No. To destroy it completely. To annihilate each and every one of the heads of the Hydra.
Even then there would be more to do, as what we want here is to construct something better: another system, one without masters, without patrons, without bosses, without injustice, without exploitation, without disrespect, without repression, without dispossession. One without violence against women, children, anyone who is different. One where work is paid justly. One where ignorance does not rule. One where hunger and violent death are just bad memories. One where no one can be above on the backs of others below. One that is reasonable, one that is better.
Then and only then, the Zapatistas can say that the accounts are even.

El Grupo armado Pojcol amenaza, agrede y hostiga a comunidades zapatistas en el municipio Autónomo de San Manuel, en Chiapas, ante la omisión del gobierno de Manuel Velasco Coello.
El Centro de Derechos Humanos Fray Bartolomé de Las Casas informó que se vive una situación de tensión en la región de La Garrucha desde julio de 2014. Las amenazas se intensificaron desde enero de 2015 debido a que personas armadas provenientes de Pojcol, municipio de Chilón, Chiapas, incursionaron en la comunidad autónoma El Rosario e hicieron disparos durante algunas noches. El 12 de febrero de 2015 el grupo Pojcol destruyó el solar de un base de apoyo zapatistas y amenazó con tomar la comunidad autónoma Nuevo Paraíso.
El Frayba expresa que los actos de agresión y amenazas realizados por el “grupo de Pojcol” atentan contra el derecho a la autonomía y a la libre determinación, además de poner en riesgo la vida, seguridad e integridad personal de las bases zapatistas de las comunidades El Rosario y Nuevo Paraíso.
