El pasado 5 de septiembre del 2023, con absurdo uso de la fuerza, el gobierno de la Ciudad de México reprimió a quienes, de manera solidaria, se hicieron presentes en la alcaldía de Xochimilco en apoyo a la compañera Hortensia Telésforo, criminalizada por participar en la recuperación de la biblioteca comunitaria de San Gregorio Atlapulco, hoy convertida en Tlamachtiloyan (Casa del pueblo). Un grupo de choque con palos, armas punzocortantes y de fuego, agredieron indiscriminadamente a quienes asistieron a la manifestación, 5 compañeras y compañeros fueron desaparecidos por horas y posteriormente presentados en el Ministerio Público para fabricarles delitos, más tarde la represión se agravó en las instalaciones de la fiscalía de Tlalpan donde fueron golpeados brutalmente más de una veintena de personas.

Esta violencia es la verdadera cara de este gobierno.

Desde entonces no han cesado las amenazas y el asedio a nuestras y nuestros compañeros, ensañándose particularmente con nuestro hermano Max Emiliano Negrete, quien ha demostrado ser congruente con sus principios en defensa de su pueblo y por ello ha sido amenazado de muerte en reiteradas ocasiones a través de perfiles falsos en redes sociales.

Si fueron capaces de repetir uno de los momentos más lamentables de la historia de México: el halconazo, sabemos que son capaces de cualquier cosa, el uso de grupos de choque por parte de la Alcaldía de Xochimilco es una práctica criminal recurrente que debe parar.

Ante las reiteradas y cobardes amenazas a en contra de Max Emiliano Negrete, integrante de la Asamblea General Permanente del pueblo de San Gregorio Atlapulco, comunicador comunitario y defensor del agua, la vida y la autonomía, como Asamblea Nacional por el Agua, la Vida y el Territorio hacemos directamente responsables a los tres niveles de gobierno, particularmente al gobierno de la Ciudad de México de cualquier altercado a la integridad de nuestro compañero.

Son ya responsables de mantenerlo en un estado de alerta por las amenazas.

Como Asamblea respaldamos su labor en defensa de la vida y la autonomía y hacemos saber a los malos gobiernos que:

MAX EMILIANO NEGRETE NO ESTÁ SOLO

ATENTAMENTE

TIERRA, AGUA Y LIBERTAD

HASTA QUE LA DIGNIDAD SE HAGA COSTUMBRE

EL AGUA ES EL COMÚN DE LOS PUEBLOS

(Bagnolet: November 24, 2025) In the face of UN Security Council Resolution 2803 (2025), it becomes unmistakably clear that what is being offered to the world as a “framework for stability” is, in fact, one of the gravest international interventions imposed on Palestine in decades. Rather than ending the genocide, the resolution reorganizes it into an administrative project; rather than halting ethnic cleansing, it embeds it within the structures of multilateral legitimacy. At its core, the resolution places Gaza under an international trusteeship that converts the Israeli occupation into a formalized internationalized occupation, designed to fracture Gaza from the West Bank and to erase the Palestinian people’s inalienable right to self-determination.

Since the so-called ceasefire came into effect on 10 October 2025, Israel occupation has continued its campaign of killing with impunity. More than 312 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza during this period, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, while the West Bank has been subjected to an unprecedented wave of settler terrorism. UN monitoring has recorded over 260 settler assaults in October alone, the highest monthly figure since documentation began in 2006,turning villages, farms, and entire communities into daily targets of coordinated violence. This reality exposes the ceasefire as nothing more than a tactical pause that enables the reconfiguration of the assault rather than its end.

Behind its humanitarian language, Resolution 2803 is, in essence, an Israeli-designed project endorsed through the Security Council to formalize a new regime of control over Gaza. It replaces tanks with “stabilization forces,” replaces military checkpoints with “international mechanisms,” and replaces direct colonial domination with an “administrative peace” that entrenches the system of control rather than dismantling it.

First, by placing Gaza under an “International Stabilization Force” with broad coercive powers, the resolution imposes a new form of international trusteeship that strips Palestinians of the ability to govern their land, borders, reconstruction, and security. This is substitution of one occupying authority with a consortium of powerful states. It is occupation with a diplomatic face.

Second, the resolution reframes the core of the Palestinian struggle from resistance against a settler-colonial regime to a “security problem” requiring technical management. In doing so, it removes the political heart of the Palestinian question and converts Gaza into an administratively governed territory rather than an integral part of an occupied homeland. This logic absolves the Israeli occupation of its responsibilities, recasts the colonized as a source of instability, and reproduces the very violence it claims to resolve.

Third, Resolution 2803 advances a strategic project to separate Gaza from the West Bank by creating distinct governance, security, and administrative systems. This fragmentation entrenches the geographic and political division imposed by the occupation and aims to liquidate the unified territory and unified people that international law clearly recognizes. It revives the long-standing colonial formula: divide the land, divide the people, weaken the struggle.

Fourth, the resolution’s reference to a “pathway to a Palestinian state” is politically hollow and deliberately misleading. A state without sovereignty over borders, water, land, airspace, and reconstruction is not a state, it is a managed enclosure. It turns the dream of liberation into a bureaucratic arrangement that leaves Palestinians with the form of statehood but none of its substance.

Fifth, by replacing active bombardment with an internationalized apparatus of control, the resolution shifts genocide from its military phase to an administrative phase. Under the guise of stabilization, reconstruction, and oversight, the same power dynamics persist: domination over land, control over movement, and suppression of political agency. This is not peace, it is the re-engineering of violence.

La Via Campesina asserts that this resolution does not open a horizon for justice. It inaugurates a new chapter of imposed governance designed to subdue a people who have resisted expulsion, starvation, and systematic destruction. Gaza is being turned into a laboratory for global “security solutions” that serve geopolitical interests rather than the rights of the people who live on that land.

We also call upon all countries, especially those whose peoples have endured colonization, occupation, or imposed trusteeship, to reject this resolution at the UN General Assembly and to stand firmly with the Palestinian right to self-determination. Their historical experience makes their voice essential in confronting this new colonial framework.

We therefore call on social movements, workers’ unions, peasant organizations, feminist movements, and allies worldwide to:

1. Reject all forms of international trusteeship over Gaza, and oppose converting the Israeli occupation into any multilateral or “stabilization” regime.
2. Demand an immediate, unconditional end to the siege, the occupation, and all mechanisms of ethnic cleansing in Gaza and the West Bank.
3. Ensure unrestricted entry of humanitarian aid and immediate access for international and local journalists to document the situation without censorship or political control.
4. Intensify global Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) against the Israeli apartheid system and the corporations profiting from land theft, displacement, and destruction of agriculture.
5. Hold the Israeli occupation fully accountable for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide, and call for effective international sanctions on political, military, and economic actors responsible.
6. Support Palestinian peasants, women, fishers, and workers, who remain at the frontline of defending land, life, and food sovereignty.

Gaza is not a “security file.” Palestine is not a territory to be administered. It is a homeland fighting for liberation.

La Via Campesina International

For land, for life, for food sovereignty and with the people of Palestine until full liberation.

Mientras la COP30 promete soluciones climáticas, mujeres indígenas de Brasil denuncian la cumbre como una farsa que excluye sus voces y encubre la violencia y el despojo en sus territorios. Su lucha por la demarcación “ahora” se revela como la verdadera clave para la justicia climática.

La cooperativa Nuevo Horizonte fue creada en 1998 por mujeres y hombres ex combatientes de las Fuerzas Armadas Rebeldes (FAR) en el Petén, Guatemala.

En este programa escucharemos las voces de algunxs de ellxs, así como de las y los jóvenes que nos comparten cómo ha sido para ellxs nacer y crecer en esta comunidad creada gracias al trabajo y la lucha de sus madres, padres, abuelas y abuelos: “un puñado de hombres y mujeres guerrilleras y luchadoras por una sociedad distinta”.

Este podcast nos acerca a la crisis de desapariciones forzadas en Chiapas y en específico a la lucha de familiares de 7 habitantes de San Cristóbal que este 23 de noviembre cumplen un año de haber sido desaparecidos.

We, the Peoples’ Summit, gathered in Belém do Pará, in the Brazilian Amazon, from 12 to 16 November 2025, declare to the peoples of the world what we have accumulated in struggles, debates, studies, exchanges of experiences, cultural activities and testimonies, over several months of preparation and during these days gathered here.

Our process brought together more than 70,000 people who make up local, national, and international movements of indigenous and traditional peoples, peasants, Indigenous Peoples, quilombolas, fisherfolk, traditional peoples who live from sustainable forest extraction, shellfish gatherers, urban workers, trade unionists, homeless people, babassu coconut breakers, terreiro peoples, women, the LGBTQIAPN+ community, young people, Afro-descendants, the elderly, and peoples from the forest, the countryside, the peripheries, the seas, rivers, lakes, and mangroves. We have taken on the task of building a just and democratic world, with buen vivir/ bem viver/ good living for all.

We are unity in diversity.

The advance of the extreme right, fascism and wars around the world exacerbates the climate crisis and the exploitation of nature and of peoples. The countries of the Global North, transnational corporations (TNCs), and the ruling classes bear the main responsibility for these crises.

We salute the resistance and stand in solidarity with all peoples who are being cruelly attacked and threatened by the forces of the US empire, Israel and their allies in Europe. For more than 80 years, the Palestinian people have been victims of genocide perpetrated by the Zionist state of Israel, which has bombed the Gaza Strip, forcibly displaced millions of people and killed tens of thousands of innocent people, mostly children, women and the elderly. We totally repudiate the genocide perpetrated against Palestine. We offer our support and solidarity to the people who bravely resist, and to the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement.

At the same time, in the Caribbean Sea, the United States is intensifying its imperial presence. It is doing so by expanding joint operations, agreements and military bases, in collusion with the extreme right, under the pretext of combating drug trafficking and terrorism, as with the recently announced “Southern Spear” operation. Imperialism continues to threaten the sovereignty of peoples, criminalising social movements and legitimising interventions that have historically served private interests in the region. We stand in solidarity with the resistance of peoples under imperialist or resource-grabbing attacks in Venezuela, Cuba, Haiti, Ecuador, Panama, El Salvador, Colombia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mozambique, Nigeria, Sudan, and with the emancipatory popular projects of the peoples of the Sahel, Nepal and around the world.

There is no life without nature. There is no life without the ethics and the work of care. That is why feminism is central to our political project. We place the work of reproducing life at the centre, which is what radically differentiates us from those who want to preserve the logic and dynamics of an economic system that prioritises profit and the private accumulation of wealth.

Our worldview is guided by popular internationalism, with exchanges of knowledge and wisdom that build bonds of solidarity, struggle and cooperation among our peoples. True solutions are strengthened by this exchange of experiences, developed in our territories and by many hands. We are committed to stimulating, convening and strengthening these processes. Therefore, we welcome the announcement of the construction of the International Movement of People Affected by Dams, Socio-Environmental Crimes and the Climate Crisis.

We began our People’s Summit by navigating the rivers of the Amazon, which, with their waters, nourish the entire body.

Like blood, they sustain life and feed a sea of encounters and hopes. We also recognise the presence of enchanted beings and other fundamental beings in the worldview of indigenous and traditional peoples, whose spiritual strength guides paths, protects territories and inspires struggles for life, memory and a world of good living.

After more than two years of collective construction and holding the People’s Summit, we affirm:

1. The capitalist mode of production is the main cause of the growing climate crisis. The main environmental problems of our time are a consequence of the relations of production, circulation, and disposal of goods, under the logic and domination of financial capital and large capitalist corporations.
2. Peripheral communities are the most affected by extreme weather events and environmental racism. On the one hand, they face a lack of infrastructure and adaptation policies. On the other hand, they face a lack of justice and reparations, especially for women, young people, impoverished people, and people of colour.
3. Transnational corporations, in collusion with governments in the Global North, are at the centre of power in the capitalist, racist and patriarchal system, being the actors that most cause and benefit from the multiple crises we face. The mining, energy, arms, agribusiness and Big Tech industries are primarily responsible for the climate catastrophe we are experiencing.
4. We oppose any false solutions to the climate crisis, including in climate finance, that perpetuate harmful practices, create unpredictable risks, and divert attention from transformative solutions based on climate justice and the justice of peoples in all biomes and ecosystems. We warn that the TFFF, being a financialised programme, is not an adequate response. All financial projects must be subject to criteria of transparency, democratic access, participation and real benefit for affected populations.
5. The failure of the current model of multilateralism is evident. Environmental crimes and extreme weather events that cause death and destruction are becoming increasingly common. This demonstrates the failure of countless global conferences and meetings that promised to solve these problems but never addressed their structural causes.
6. The energy transition is being implemented under capitalist logic. Despite the expansion of renewable sources, there has been no reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. The expansion of energy production sources has also become a new space for capital accumulation.
7. Finally, we affirm that the privatisation, commodification and financialisation of commons and public services are directly contrary to the interests of the people. In this context, laws, state institutions and the vast majority of governments have been captured, shaped and subordinated to the pursuit of maximum profit by financial capital and transnational corporations. Public policies are needed to advance the recovery of states and tackle privatisation.

In the face of these challenges, we propose:

1. Confronting false market solutions. Air, forests, water, land, minerals, and energy sources cannot remain private property or be appropriated, because they are common goods of the people.
2. We demand the participation and leadership of peoples in the construction of climate solutions, recognising ancestral knowledge. The multidiversity of cultures and worldviews carries ancestral wisdom and knowledge that states must recognise as references for solutions to the multiple crises afflicting humanity and Mother Nature.
3. We demand the demarcation and protection of the lands and territories of indigenous peoples and other local peoples and communities, as they are the ones who guarantee the survival of the forest. We demand that governments implement zero deforestation, end criminal burning, and adopt state policies for ecological restoration and recovery of areas degraded and affected by the climate crisis.
4. We demand the implementation of popular agrarian reform and the promotion of agroecology to guarantee food sovereignty and combat land concentration. Peoples produce healthy food to feed the people, in order to eliminate hunger in the world, based on cooperation and access to techniques and technologies under popular control. This is an example of a real solution to confront the climate crisis. There is no climate justice without land back in the hands of peoples.
5. We demand the fight against environmental racism and the construction of fair cities and living peripheries through the implementation of environmental policies and solutions. Housing, sanitation, water access and use, solid waste treatment, afforestation, and access to land and land regularisation programmes must consider integration with nature. We want investment in quality public and collective transport policies with zero fares. These are real alternatives for tackling the climate crisis in peripheral territories around the world, which must be implemented with adequate funding for climate adaptation.
6. We advocate direct consultation, participation, and popular management of climate policies in cities to confront real estate corporations that have advanced the commodification of urban life. The city of climate and energy transition should be a city without segregation that embraces diversity. Finally, climate financing should be conditional on protocols that aim at housing permanence and, ultimately, fair compensation for people and communities with guaranteed land and housing, both in the countryside and in cities.
7. We demand an end to wars, we demand demilitarisation. That all financial resources allocated to wars and the war industry be redirected to the transformation of this world. That military spending be directed towards the repair and recovery of regions affected by climate disasters. That all necessary measures be taken to prevent and pressure Israel, holding it accountable for the genocide committed against the Palestinian people.
8. We demand fair and full compensation for the losses and damages imposed on peoples by destructive investment projects, dams, mining, fossil fuel extraction, and climate disasters. We also demand that those guilty of economic and socio-environmental crimes that affect millions of communities and families around the world be tried and punished.
9. The work of reproducing life must be made visible, valued, understood for what it is – work – and shared by society as a whole and with the state. This work is essential for the continuity of human and non-human life on the planet. It also guarantees the autonomy of women, who cannot be held individually responsible for care, but whose contributions must be taken into account: our work sustains the economy. We want a world with feminist justice, autonomy and participation of women.
10. We demand a just, sovereign and popular transition that guarantees the rights of all workers, as well as the right to decent working conditions, freedom of association, collective bargaining and social protection. We consider energy to be a common good and advocate for the overcoming of poverty and energy dependence. Neither the energy model nor the transition itself can violate the sovereignty of any country in the world.
11. We demand an end to the exploitation of fossil fuels and call on governments to develop mechanisms to ensure the non-proliferation of fossil fuels, aiming for a just, popular and inclusive energy transition with sovereignty, protection and reparation for territories, particularly in the Amazon and other sensitive regions that are essential for life on the planet.
12. We fight for public financing and taxation of corporations and the wealthiest individuals. The costs of environmental degradation and losses imposed on populations must be paid by the sectors that benefit most from this model. This includes financial funds, banks, and corporations in agribusiness, hydrobusiness, aquaculture and industrial fishing, energy, and mining. These actors must also bear the necessary investments for a just transition focused on the needs of the people.
13. We demand that international climate financing not go through institutions that deepen inequality between North and South, such as the IMF and the World Bank. It must be structured in a fair, transparent, and democratic manner. It is not the peoples and countries of the global South that should continue to pay debts to the dominant powers. It is these countries and their corporations that need to begin to pay off the socio-environmental debt accumulated through centuries of imperialist, colonialist and racist practices, through the appropriation of common goods and through the violence imposed on millions of people who have been killed and enslaved.
14. We denounce the ongoing criminalisation of movements, the persecution, murder and disappearance of our leaders who fight in defence of their territories, as well as political prisoners and Palestinian prisoners who fight for national liberation. We demand the expansion of protection for human and socio-environmental rights defenders in the global climate agenda, within the framework of the Escazú Agreement and other regional regulations. When a defender protects the territory and nature, they protect not only an individual, but an entire people, benefiting the entire global community.
15. We call for the strengthening of international instruments that defend the rights of peoples, their customary rights and the integrity of ecosystems. We need a legally binding international instrument on human rights and transnational corporations, which is built on the concrete reality of the struggles of communities affected by violations, demanding rights for peoples and rules for corporations. We also affirm that the Declaration on the Rights of Peasants and Other People Working in Rural Areas (UNDROP) should be one of the pillars of climate governance. The full implementation of peasants’ rights returns people to their territories, directly contributing to their food security, soil care and the cooling of the planet.

Finally, we believe that it is time to unite our forces and face our common enemy.

If the organisation is strong, the struggle is strong. For this reason, our main political task is to organise the peoples of all countries and continents. Let us root our internationalism in each territory and make each territory a trench in the international struggle. It is time to move forward in a more organised, independent and unified way, to increase our awareness, strength and combativeness. This is the way to resist and win.

“Peoples Of The World: Unite!”

A dos años de la desaparición de nuestros familiares

Sin Verdad, Sin Justicia.

Se cumplen dos años de la desaparición de nuestros familiares: Dan Josué Rosales Tzunún, Jorge Luis De León, Juan Carlos Calel de León, Luis Alberto Vasquez Sarat, Amilcar Isaac Enriquez Villatoro, Juan Francisco Tupul García, Julio Cesar Vásquez Pérez, Leonardo Morales Alvarez, Mayco Josué Morga Enriquez, y Francisco Socorro Morga De León, quienes se ganaban la vida y aportaban al sustento familiar, a través de la venta de pollos de crecimiento y que desde el 16 de noviembre 2023 han sido víctimas de la desaparición forzada en Frontera Comalapa, Chiapas, México. Sin embargo, hasta la fecha seguimos esperando una respuesta sobre su paradero y sobre los responsables del hecho.

Durante este tiempo, nos hemos mantenido firmes a pesar de las afectaciones emocionales, de subsistencia, el duelo por la ausencia, por la reconfiguración de nuestros entornos familiares, espirituales y comunitarios desde la desaparición. A pesar de que el proceso ha sido desgastante al no tener ni una sola pista del paradero de nuestros seres queridos, tenemos esperanza y seguiremos luchando, exigiendo justicia hasta encontrarles, por esto demandamos a los Estados de México y Guatemala:

1. Trabajo coordinado entre instituciones competentes. Exigimos mantener las reuniones con las autoridades de México para conocer información sobre las acciones de búsqueda e investigación en el caso. Sin embargo, solicitamos la unión de esfuerzos y coordinación entre instituciones para la pronta localización de nuestros seres queridos, la identificación y sanción a responsables de los hechos, 

2. Plan de búsqueda y análisis de contexto idóneos. Reconocemos los avances en la recopilación de información y en la línea del tiempo, no obstante, exigimos que los mismos contemplen las hipótesis de búsqueda en vida y búsqueda en muerte en lugares de asistencia, detención y zonas en donde opere o recluten los grupos del crimen organizado en Chiapas, México, pero también en otra entidades federativas del país incluyendo la búsqueda transnacional en Estados Unidos de America y Guatemala, ante la presunción de reclutamiento forzado, 

3. Plan de investigación efectivo. Solicitamos la presentación detallada del plan de investigación y de sus resultados concretos en la investigación de los hechos, identificación de los responsables y medidas implementadas para su sanción,

4. Confrontas genéticas con restos no identificados. El pasado mes de julio 2025, las familias, como derecho que nos corresponde, nos practicamos una tercera toma de ADN con el Equipo Argentino Antroplogía Forence (EAAF) en su calidad de peritos independientes y con apoyo de la Red Jesuita con Migrantes (RJM), el Centro de Derechos Humanos Fray Bartolomé de Las Casas (Frayba) y CONAMIGUA, diligencia que ha sido puesta en conocimiento a las autoridades de México. Por lo que exigimos, se incorporen estos perfiles en las carpetas de Investigación respectivas y se gestionen las acciones necesarias para la confronta con los datos de bancos forenses de Chiapas y en todo territorio mexicano y se nos informen a la brevedad de los resultados,

5. Condición de la Calidad de víctimas. El pasado mes de septiembre del corriente año, el Estado mexicano reconoció la calidad de víctimas a nuestros familiares y a sus familiares, quienes seguimos buscando. Requerimos que se implementen las medidas necesarias para asegurar el ejercicio de derechos y deberes que se desprenden de esta condición.  Realizando visitas in situ en Guatemala para conocer la situación socio económica de las familias, las afectaciones psicosociales y de seguridad de cada integrante del núcleo familiar con especial atención a niños, niñas y adolescentes, personas adultas mayores, como secuela del hecho de la desaparición de nuestros seres queridos. 

6. Coordinación entre Guatemala y México. Solicitamos que las autoridades de Guatemala, nos asistan en los procesos de tutela de nuestros derechos, en la búsqueda y localización de nuestros seres queridos, a través de los canales diplomáticos y mediante la participación en las sesiones de trabajo con autoridades de México, para generar los informes, requerimientos de información respectivo ante México y mesas de trabajo binacional para asegurar el acompañamiento y asistencia a las familias. 

Seguiremos buscando hasta encontrarles.

INVITATION TO THE SEEDBED
“OF PYRAMIDS, HISTORIES, LOVES AND, OF COURSE, HEARTBREAKS”

CIDECI-UNITIERRA
DECEMBER 26–30, 2025

The Zapatista Sixth Commission invites those who have signed the Sixth Declaration of the Lacandon Jungle and the Declaration for Life to the seedbed to celebrate the resistances and rebellions of the world: “Of Pyramids, Histories, Loves and, of course, Heartbreaks.”

With the participation of:

• Sylvia Marcos
• Bárbara Zamora
• Tamara San Miguel
• Luis de Tavira
• Raúl Zibechi
• Arturo Anguiano
• Carlos Antonio Aguirre Rojas
• Eduardo Almeida
• Carlos Tornel
• Raúl Romero
• Zapatista Sixth Commission

They will present their analyses on pyramids and on how histories are handled within the economic system, bad governments, laws and the judicial structure, resistance movements, leftisms and progressivism, human rights, the feminist struggle, and the arts. And well, maybe something will be said about loves and heartbreaks—depending. In any case, we hope that those presenting will not overwhelm the public with excessive bibliographic citations, suffocating speculations, or Wikipedia summaries.

The talks will take place at the facilities of CIDECI-UniTierra, in San Cristóbal de Las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico, from December 26 through December 30, inclusive. On December 31 and January 1, those who survive may attend the celebrations of the anniversary of the Zapatista uprising at the Puy closest to their heart (or their algorithm, as the case may be). If you are some kind of (ha!) Artificial Intelligence, consider yourself excluded (one bit of sugar for all the salt).

Insurgent Subcomandante Moisés
Mexico, November 2026.

Tlaltequepetquelt and Pechilinque—both islands and the heart of the Coca people of Mezcala, Jalisco—are not private, nor are they abandoned; on the contrary.

The companies Omnia Experience and Techno Hours Sessions are shamelessly announcing a RAVE in November and December of this year, on a supposedly PRIVATE and ABANDONED island. The island they are advertising is our island, which—as we have always said—is a sacred site, for it is where the heart of our people resides.

Ancestral Territory

Since time immemorial, our islands have sustained the life, culture, and spirituality of our people. In the 16th century, colonial scribes wrote about how the Coca people frequently went there to leave offerings to their idols, which led authorities to place a monk on the island to stop people from continuing to use that space. Later, during the independence period, the island became a stronghold of resistance for the insurgents not only of Mezcala, but of a large region of Jalisco. Our people commemorate that resistance every year, because we know that our lands exist thanks to the struggles of the past—for example, those of our insurgents.

In 1997, the Mexican state recognized the islands as the property of the Mezcala community, in addition to 3,600 hectares of communal land. In 2010, several state authorities (SC, INAH, the Poncitlán municipal government, and ST) attempted to privatize our island by creating a trust, but they failed. At that time, the Ministry of Culture and INAH-Jalisco declared the island a “site museum.” The irony is that this declaration—intended to dispossess us—now does nothing to protect it, since these companies can easily enter a historic space.

The islands of our people are home to around 51 families of chayote growers, boat operators, and fishers. In recent years, tourism has also been carried out by members of the community—youth, children, and adults who provide guiding services—so calling it a private and abandoned island is complete ignorance.

Now these companies once again strike at our history, identity, and territory. For them, it is a business: they offer packages ranging from 499 to 4,799 pesos. It is outrageous to see how easily they can enter our home.

We call on society at large to help us denounce this violation committed by these external agents in our territory, who—as always—seek only to confuse our people (with promises that money will come) and trample on our history and culture.

Never again a Mexico without Us

Residents of the Coca community of Mezcala, Jalisco.
