10 DE MARZO DEL 2018.<\/p>\n

BUENAS NOCHES, BUENOS D\u00cdAS, BUENAS TARDES, COMPA\u00d1ERAS Y HERMANAS QUE LUCHAN, DONDE QUIERA QUE SE ENCUENTREN.<\/p>\n

HERMANAS Y COMPA\u00d1ERAS QUE NOS ACOMPA\u00d1ARON EN ESTE PRIMER ENCUENTRO INTERNACIONAL DE MUJERES QUE LUCHAN.<\/p>\n

VAMOS A DECIR UNAS PEQUE\u00d1AS PALABRAS A NOMBRE DE TODAS NOSOTRAS, LAS MUJERES ZAPATISTAS DE LOS CINCO CARACOLES.<\/p>\n

QUEREMOS AGRADECER A LAS COMPA\u00d1ERAS CIUDADANAS DE LOS EQUIPOS DE APOYO QUE LO SABEMOS QUE BIEN QUE SE CHINGARON EN LOS CORREOS, EL REGISTRO, LA ORGANIZACI\u00d3N DEL TRANSPORTE Y EL ACOMODO DE LOS HORARIOS Y LUGARES DE LAS ACTIVIDADES.<\/p>\n

QUEREMOS TAMBI\u00c9N SALUDAR AQU\u00cd A NUESTRAS COMPA\u00d1ERAS ZAPATISTAS QUE NO PUDIERON VENIR AQU\u00cd EN ESTE ENCUENTRO Y QUEDARON PENDIENTES PARA QUE NOSOTRAS PUDI\u00c9RAMOS LLEGAR.<\/p>\n

MISMO A NUESTROS COMPA\u00d1EROS QUE TUVIERON QUE QUEDAR PARA CUIDAR NUESTRA FAMILIA, NUESTROS ANIMALES, NUESTRAS CASAS, NUESTROS CUARTELES, NUESTROS CAMPOS, Y QUE ESTUVIERON PENDIENTES POR SI LOS MALOS GOBIERNOS HACEN ALGUNA MALDAD CONTRA DEL ENCUENTRO.<\/p>\n

PERO NUESTRAS PALABRAS FINALES SON ESPECIALES PARA USTEDES, HERMANAS Y COMPA\u00d1ERAS MUJERES QUE LUCHAN.<\/p>\n

AGRADECEMOS CON TODO NUESTRO CORAZ\u00d3N HUMILDE Y SENCILLO, CON RESISTENCIA Y REBELD\u00cdA, LA PARTICIPACI\u00d3N DE TODAS USTEDES, MUJERES QUE LUCHAN EN LOS CINCO CONTINENTES DEL MUNDO.<\/p>\n

TANTO LAS QUE EST\u00c1N AQU\u00cd, COMO LAS QUE EST\u00c1N PENDIENTES DE LO QUE AQU\u00cd PAS\u00d3.<\/p>\n

AGRADECEMOS SUS O\u00cdDOS, SUS MIRADAS, SUS PALABRAS, SUS TALLERES, SUS PL\u00c1TICAS, SU ARTE, SUS VIDEOS, SUS M\u00daSICAS, SUS POES\u00cdAS, SUS CUENTOS, SUS TEATROS, SUS DANZAS Y BAILABLES, SUS PINTURAS, SUS COSAS RARAS QUE NI SAB\u00cdAMOS QU\u00c9 SON, Y TODO LO QUE NOS TRAJERON PARA QUE NOSOTRAS CONOCEMOS Y APRENDEMOS DE SUS LUCHAS.<\/p>\n

LO TOMAMOS TODO COMO UN REGALO MUY VALIOSO QUE VAMOS A CUIDAR Y VAMOS A HACER M\u00c1S GRANDE, PORQUE LO VAMOS A LLEVAR A NUESTRAS COMUNIDADES Y PUEBLOS, PARA QUE M\u00c1S MUJERES ZAPATISTAS COMPARTAN CON NOSOTRAS SU REGALO QUE NOS DIERON.<\/p>\n

LO RECIBIMOS CON RESPETO Y CARI\u00d1O PORQUE TODAS USTEDES HICIERON UN GRAN ESFUERZO PARA VIAJAR DESDE SUS LUGARES DE LUCHA, DESDE SUS TIEMPOS Y MODOS, DESDE SUS MUNDOS, Y LLEGAR A ESTE ENCUENTRO QUE NO SABEMOS TODAV\u00cdA SI SALI\u00d3 BIEN O SALI\u00d3 MAL.<\/p>\n

YA HEMOS VISTO DE ALGUNAS DE LAS COSAS QUE ENTREGARON EN LA MESA DE CR\u00cdTICAS A NOSOTRAS.\u00a0 FALTA QUE LEEMOS TODO Y FALTA QUE ENTRE TODAS NOSOTRAS LAS ANALIZAMOS.\u00a0 EN ESA CAJA ENCONTRAMOS UNA CARTA QUE DICE ALGO QUE CREEMOS QUE NOS VIENE TOCANDO A TODAS.\u00a0 UNA COMPA\u00d1ERA LES VA A LEER.<\/p>\n

(se lee una carta de las familiares de los ausentes de Ayotzinapa, pidiendo que no se les deje solos, porque el mal gobierno quiere cerrar el caso y dejarlo en el olvido).<\/p>\n

NO LAS HEMOS REVISADO TODAS LAS NOTAS, PERO LES ASEGURAMOS NUESTRO COMPROMISO A CORREGIR LO QUE NOS SE\u00d1ALAN QUE EST\u00c1 MAL, Y A MEJORAR LO QUE NOS DICEN QUE NO EST\u00c1 CABAL.<\/p>\n

S\u00cd DECIMOS CLARO QUE, HASTA AHORA, LA GRAN MAYOR\u00cdA SON CR\u00cdTICAS POR ERRORES Y FALLAS QUE TENEMOS EN LA ORGANIZACI\u00d3N.<\/p>\n

LES DECIMOS QUE VAMOS A TOMAR EN CUENTA TODAS SUS CR\u00cdTICAS PARA MEJORAR LA PR\u00d3XIMA VEZ, SI ES QUE HAY UNA PR\u00d3XIMA VEZ.\u00a0 TODAS ESAS CR\u00cdTICAS, AS\u00cd COMO NUESTRAS PALABRAS QUE TRAJIMOS EN ESTOS D\u00cdAS, LO VAMOS A PUBLICAR EN LA P\u00c1GINA DE ENLACE ZAPATISTA PARA QUE AH\u00cd TODAS USTEDES PUEDEN VER.<\/p>\n

PERO COMO QUIERA, AS\u00cd EN GENERAL, QUEREMOS SABER LO QUE PIENSAN TODAS.<\/p>\n

ENTONCES LES PREGUNTAMOS, COMPA\u00d1ERAS Y HERMANAS:<\/p>\n

\u00bfSER\u00c1 QUE SALI\u00d3 UN POCO BIEN?<\/p>\n

\u00bfO SER\u00c1 QUE SALI\u00d3 MAL?<\/p>\n

BUENO, AQU\u00cd APUNTAMOS QUE AUNQUE RESPONDAN QUE SALI\u00d3 UN POCO BIEN O QUE SALI\u00d3 MAL, PUES LES VAMOS A CONTAR, SINCERAMENTE, UNA COSA QUE LES PEDIMOS QUE QUEDA AQU\u00cd ENTRE NOSOTRAS, COMO MUJERES QUE SOMOS Y QUE LUCHAMOS.\u00a0 O SEA QUE NO LO VAYAN A ANDAR CONTANDO, SOBRE TODO CON LOS HOMBRES.<\/p>\n

PUES LA VERDAD, HERMANAS Y COMPA\u00d1ERAS, ES QUE SUFRIMOS MUCHO PORQUE NO SABEMOS C\u00d3MO VAMOS A HACER.<\/p>\n

ES LA PRIMERA VEZ QUE COMO MUJERES QUE SOMOS, SOLAS, ORGANIZAMOS UN ENCUENTRO AS\u00cd.<\/p>\n

Y LO ORGANIZAMOS DESDE ABAJO, O SEA QUE PRIMERO HICIMOS REUNIONES Y DISCUSI\u00d3N EN NUESTROS COLECTIVOS EN LOS PUEBLOS Y COMUNIDADES.\u00a0 LUEGO EN LAS REGIONES, LUEGO EN LAS ZONAS Y LUEGO YA DE LAS 5 ZONAS JUNTAS.<\/p>\n

Y PUES YA VEN USTEDES QUE ENTRE MUJERES PUES TARDAMOS PARA HACER UN ACUERDO PEQUE\u00d1O, PUES PEOR SI ES UN ACUERDO AS\u00cd DE GRANDE COMO EL DE HACER ESTE ENCUENTRO.<\/p>\n

TARDAMOS MESES Y AS\u00cd HASTA QUE LLEG\u00d3 EL ACUERDO DE TODAS, PORQUE ES QUE, S\u00cd VAMOS A HACER, ES PORQUE TENEMOS QUE HACER ENTRE TODAS, EN COLECTIVO.<\/p>\n

Y PUES NO HAY LIBRO O MANUAL PARA HACER ESTO.<\/p>\n

Y NI MODO DE PREGUNTARLE A LOS COMPA\u00d1EROS PORQUE ELLOS TAMPOCO SABEN C\u00d3MO HACER, PORQUE, COMO YA DIJIMOS, NUNCA SE HA HECHO ALGO AS\u00cd ANTES.<\/p>\n

ENTONCES PUES ENTRE NOSOTRAS MISMOS TENEMOS QUE BUSCARLE C\u00d3MO HACER.<\/p>\n

ENTONCES PUES ESTAMOS CON EL PENDIENTE TODO EL PINCHE D\u00cdA Y TODA LA PINCHE NOCHE.\u00a0 ACASO DAN GANAS DE COMER, NO.\u00a0 Y NO ENTRA EL SUE\u00d1O.<\/p>\n

Y ESTAMOS PREOCUPADAS POR SI VA A SALIR BIEN O VA A SALIR MAL.<\/p>\n

NOS PREOCUPAMOS COMO ZAPATISTAS DE POR S\u00cd, PERO TAMBI\u00c9N COMO MUJERES.<\/p>\n

PORQUE NOSOTRAS LAS INVITAMOS.\u00a0 ENTONCES VA EN NUESTRA CUENTA SI SALE MAL O BIEN.<\/p>\n

QUE D\u00d3NDE DUERMEN, QUE D\u00d3NDE COMEN, QUE D\u00d3NDE SE BA\u00d1AN, QUE D\u00d3NDE VAN AL BA\u00d1O, QUE EL SONIDO, QUE LA LUZ, QUE EL AGUA, QUE SI SE ENFERMAN, QUE QU\u00c9 LES VAMOS A DECIR, QUE C\u00d3MO LES HABLAMOS, QUE C\u00d3MO LAS ESCUCHAMOS Y MIRAMOS.<\/p>\n

ENTONCES, DE CORAZ\u00d3N LES PEDIMOS DISCULPAS POR LO ERRORES Y FALLAS QUE TUVIMOS EN ESTO.\u00a0 SEGURO LA PR\u00d3XIMA VEZ, SI ES QUE HAY, YA NO NOS SALE TAN MAL COMO NOS CRITICAN.<\/p>\n

PORQUE PENSAMOS QUE LO M\u00c1S IMPORTANTE ES, PRIMERO, QUE EST\u00c9N UN POCO BIEN AQU\u00cd Y QUE SE SIENTAN A GUSTO.<\/p>\n

PERO TAMBI\u00c9N ES IMPORTANTE QUE MIRAMOS Y ESCUCHAMOS A TODAS, PORQUE SI NO DE BALDE HICIERON LA CHINGA DE VENIR HASTA AC\u00c1 Y PUES LO JUSTO ES QUE ESCUCHEMOS Y MIREMOS A TODAS.\u00a0 AUNQUE ESTEMOS O NO ESTEMOS DE ACUERDO CON LO QUE DICEN.<\/p>\n

ENTONCES PUES NO BASTA UN COLECTIVO PARA ORGANIZAR TODO ESO.\u00a0 POR ESO LLEGAMOS AQU\u00cd M\u00c1S DE 2 MIL MUJERES ZAPATISTAS DE LOS CINCO CARACOLES.<\/p>\n

Y TAL VEZ NO BAST\u00d3, PORQUE USTEDES SON COMO CINCO MIL, AUNQUE ALGUNAS DICEN QUE 8 MIL Y OTRAS DICEN QUE 9 MIL.<\/p>\n

A SABER CU\u00c1NTAS MUJERES QUE LUCHAN LLEGAMOS EN ESTOS D\u00cdAS, PERO CREEMOS QUE PODEMOS ESTAR DE ACUERDO EN QUE SOMOS UN CHINGO.<\/p>\n

Y NO PENSAMOS SI VAN A LLEGAR TANTAS PORQUE AC\u00c1 EST\u00c1 RETIRADO Y NO HAY COMODIDADES.<\/p>\n

VIERA QUE SABEMOS QUE SON TANTO AS\u00cd, PUES TAL VEZ LLEGAMOS M\u00c1S MUJERES ZAPATISTAS Y AS\u00cd PODR\u00cdAMOS ABRAZARLAS A TODAS Y CADA UNA Y PODER DECIRLES EN PERSONAL LO QUE AHORA LES DECIMOS EN COLECTIVO.<\/p>\n

VENDR\u00cdAMOS SEIS MUJERES ZAPATISTAS PARA CADA UNA DE USTEDES: UNA PICHITA (QUE AS\u00cd LES DECIMOS A LAS QUE ACABAN DE NACER), UNA NI\u00d1A, UNA J\u00d3VENA, UNA ADULTA, UNA ANCIANA Y UNA FINADA.<\/p>\n

TODAS MUJERES, TODAS IND\u00cdGENAS, TODAS POBRES, TODAS ZAPATISTAS QUE TE ABRACEN FUERTE, PORQUE ES EL \u00daNICO REGALO QUE PODEMOS DARTE DE VUELTA.<\/p>\n

PERO COMO QUIERA HAS DE CUENTA, HERMANA Y COMPA\u00d1ERA, QUE ESTO QUE ESTAMOS DICIENDO AQU\u00cd, TE LO EST\u00c1 DICIENDO UNA MUJER ZAPATISTA MIENTRAS TE DA UN ABRAZO Y TE DICE AL O\u00cdDO, EN TU LENGUA, EN TU MODO, EN TU TIEMPO:<\/p>\n

\u201cNO TE RINDAS, NO TE VENDAS, NO CLAUDIQUES\u201d<\/p>\n

QUE AS\u00cd, CON ESTAS PALABRAS ES QUE TE DECIMOS<\/p>\n

\u201cGRACIAS HERMANA.\u00a0 GRACIAS COMPA\u00d1ERA\u201d.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

HERMANAS Y COMPA\u00d1ERAS:<\/p>\n

ESTE D\u00cdA 8 DE MARZO, AL FINAL DE NUESTRA PARTICIPACI\u00d3N, ENCENDIMOS UNA PEQUE\u00d1A LUZ CADA UNA DE NOSOTRAS.<\/p>\n

LA ENCENDIMOS CON UNA VELA PARA QUE TARDA, PORQUE CON CERILLO R\u00c1PIDO SE ACABA Y CON ENCENDEDOR PUES QU\u00c9 TAL QUE SE DESCOMPONE.<\/p>\n

ESA PEQUE\u00d1A LUZ ES PARA TI.<\/p>\n

LL\u00c9VALA, HERMANA Y COMPA\u00d1ERA.<\/p>\n

CUANDO TE SIENTAS SOLA.<\/p>\n

CUANDO TENGAS MIEDO.<\/p>\n

CUANDO SIENTAS QUE ES MUY DURA LA LUCHA, O SEA LA VIDA,<\/p>\n

PR\u00c9NDELA DE NUEVO EN TU CORAZ\u00d3N, EN TU PENSAMIENTO, EN TUS TRIPAS.<\/p>\n

Y NO LA QUEDES, COMPA\u00d1ERA Y HERMANA.<\/p>\n

LL\u00c9VALA A LAS DESAPARECIDAS.<\/p>\n

LL\u00c9VALA A LAS ASESINADAS.<\/p>\n

LL\u00c9VALA A LAS PRESAS.<\/p>\n

LL\u00c9VALA A LAS VIOLADAS.<\/p>\n

LL\u00c9VALA A LAS GOLPEADAS.<\/p>\n

LL\u00c9VALA A LAS ACOSADAS.<\/p>\n

LL\u00c9VALA A LAS VIOLENTADAS DE TODAS LAS FORMAS.<\/p>\n

LL\u00c9VALA A LAS MIGRANTES.<\/p>\n

LL\u00c9VALA A LAS EXPLOTADAS.<\/p>\n

LL\u00c9VALA A LAS MUERTAS.<\/p>\n

LL\u00c9VALA Y DILE A TODAS Y CADA UNA DE ELLAS QUE NO EST\u00c1 SOLA, QUE VAS A LUCHAR POR ELLA.<\/p>\n

QUE VAS A LUCHAR POR LA VERDAD Y LA JUSTICIA QUE MERECE SU DOLOR.<\/p>\n

QUE VAS A LUCHAR PORQUE EL DOLOR QUE CARGA NO SE VUELVA A REPETIR EN OTRA MUJER EN CUALQUIER MUNDO.<\/p>\n

LL\u00c9VALA Y CONVI\u00c9RTELA EN RABIA, EN CORAJE, EN DECISI\u00d3N.<\/p>\n

LL\u00c9VALA Y J\u00daNTALA CON OTRAS LUCES.<\/p>\n

LL\u00c9VALA Y, TAL VEZ, LUEGO LLEGUE EN TU PENSAMIENTO QUE NO HABR\u00c1 NI VERDAD, NI JUSTICIA, NI LIBERTAD EN EL SISTEMA CAPITALISTA PATRIARCAL.<\/p>\n

ENTONCES TAL VEZ NOS VAMOS A VOLVER A VER PARA PRENDERLE FUEGO AL SISTEMA.<\/p>\n

Y TAL VEZ VAS A ESTAR JUNTO A NOSOTRAS CUIDANDO QUE NADIE APAGUE ESE FUEGO HASTA QUE NO QUEDEN M\u00c1S QUE CENIZAS.<\/p>\n

Y ENTONCES, HERMANA Y COMPA\u00d1ERA, ESE D\u00cdA QUE SER\u00c1 NOCHE, TAL VEZ PODREMOS DECIR CONTIGO:<\/p>\n

\u201cBUENO, PUES AHORA S\u00cd VAMOS A EMPEZAR A CONSTRUIR EL MUNDO QUE MERECEMOS Y NECESITAMOS\u201d.<\/p>\n

Y ENTONCES S\u00cd, TAL VEZ, ENTENDEREMOS QUE EMPIEZA LA VERDADERA CHINGA Y QUE AHORITA COMO QUIEN DICE QUE ESTAMOS PRACTICANDO, ENTRENANDO PUES, PARA YA ESTAR SABEDORAS DE LO M\u00c1S IMPORTANTE QUE SE NECESITA.<\/p>\n

Y ESO QUE SE NECESITA ES QUE NUNCA M\u00c1S NINGUNA MUJER, DEL MUNDO QUE SEA, DEL COLOR QUE SEA, DEL TAMA\u00d1O QUE SEA, DE LA EDAD QUE SEA, DE LA LENGUA QUE SEA, DE LA CULTURA QUE SEA, TENGA MIEDO.<\/strong><\/p>\n

PORQUE AC\u00c1 SABEMOS BIEN QUE CUANDO SE DICE \u201c\u00a1YA BASTA!\u201d ES QUE APENAS EMPIEZA EL CAMINO Y QUE SIEMPRE FALTA LO QUE FALTA.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

HERMANAS Y COMPA\u00d1ERAS:<\/p>\n

AQU\u00cd, DELANTE DE TODAS LAS QUE SOMOS AQU\u00cd Y LAS QUE NO EST\u00c1N PERO EST\u00c1N CON EL CORAZ\u00d3N Y EL PENSAMIENTO, LES PROPONEMOS QUE ACORDEMOS SEGUIR VIVAS Y SEGUIR LUCHANDO, CADA QUIEN SEG\u00daN SU MODO, SU TIEMPO Y SU MUNDO.<\/p>\n

\u00bfEST\u00c1N DE ACUERDO?<\/p>\n

BUENO, CUANDO HACEMOS ESTE ESCRITO NO LO SABEMOS SI RESPONDEN S\u00cd O NO, PERO PASO A LA SIGUIENTE PROPUESTA:<\/p>\n

COMO YA LO VIMOS Y ESCUCHAMOS QUE NO TODAS EST\u00c1N CONTRA EL SISTEMA CAPITALISTA PATRIARCAL, PUES RESPETAMOS ESO Y ENTONCES PROPONEMOS QUE LO ESTUDIEMOS Y LO DISCUTAMOS EN NUESTROS COLECTIVOS SI ES QUE ES CIERTO QUE EL SISTEMA QUE NOS IMPONEN ES EL RESPONSABLE DE NUESTROS DOLORES.<\/p>\n

SI ES QUE SALE QUE S\u00cd ES CIERTO, PUES ENTONCES, HERMANAS Y COMPA\u00d1ERAS, SALDR\u00c1 OTRO D\u00cdA EL ACUERDO DE QUE LUCHAMOS CONTRA EL PATRIARCADO CAPITALISTA Y CONTRA CUALQUIER PATRIARCADO.<\/p>\n

Y CLARO DECIMOS QUE CONTRA CUALQUIER PATRIARCADO, NO IMPORTA QU\u00c9 IDEA TENGA, NO IMPORTA CU\u00c1L SEA SU COLOR O SU BANDERA.\u00a0 PORQUE NOSOTRAS PENSAMOS QUE NO HAY PATRIARCADO BUENO Y PATRIARCADO MALO, SINO QUE SON LO MISMO CONTRA NOSOTRAS COMO MUJERES QUE SOMOS.<\/p>\n

SI SALE QUE NO ES CIERTO, BUENO, COMO QUIERA NOS VAMOS A ESTAR VIENDO PARA LUCHAR POR LA VIDA DE TODAS LAS MUJERES Y POR SU LIBERTAD Y QUE YA CADA QUIEN, SEG\u00daN SU PENSAMIENTO Y LO QUE MIRA, PUES VA CONSTRUYENDO SU MUNDO COMO VEA MEJOR.<\/p>\n

\u00bfEST\u00c1N DE ACUERDO DE, EN SUS MUNDOS Y SEG\u00daN SUS MODOS Y TIEMPOS, ESTUDIAR, ANALIZAR, DISCUTIR Y, SI SE PUEDE, ACORDAR NOMBRAR QUI\u00c9N O QUI\u00c9NES SON LOS RESPONSABLES DE NUESTROS DOLORES QUE TENEMOS?<\/p>\n

BUENO, IGUAL NO SABEMOS SI S\u00cd ES ACUERDO O NO, ENTONCES PASAMOS A LA SIGUIENTE PROPUESTA:<\/p>\n

LES PROPONEMOS EL ACUERDO DE VOLVER A REUNIRNOS EN UN SEGUNDO ENCUENTRO EL PR\u00d3XIMO A\u00d1O, PERO NO NADA M\u00c1S AQU\u00cd EN TIERRAS ZAPATISTAS, SINO QUE TAMBI\u00c9N EN SUS MUNDOS DE CADA QUIEN, DE ACUERDO A SUS TIEMPOS Y MODOS.<\/p>\n

O SEA QUE CADA QUIEN ORGANICE ENCUENTROS DE MUJERES QUE LUCHAN O COMO LE QUIERAN LLAMAR.<\/p>\n

\u00bfEST\u00c1N DE ACUERDO?<\/p>\n

BUENO, NO SABEMOS TODAV\u00cdA QU\u00c9 RESPONDIERON, PERO COMO QUIERA AQU\u00cd SER\u00c1N BIENVENIDAS, HERMANAS Y COMPA\u00d1ERAS.<\/p>\n

PERO S\u00cd LES PEDIMOS QUE AVISEN CON TIEMPO PORQUE EST\u00c1 CABR\u00d3N QUE NOS DICEN QUE VIENEN QUINIENTAS Y ES QUE SE LES PERDI\u00d3 UN CERO EN EL CAMINO PORQUE LLEGAN CINCO MIL O M\u00c1S.<\/p>\n

Y VIERA QUE CUANDO VIENEN PUEDEN DECIR QUE EN SUS MUNDOS SE REUNIERON, DISCUTIERON Y ACORDARON LO QUE SEA QUE ACUERDEN.<\/p>\n

O SEA QUE LLEGUEN M\u00c1S GRANDES EN SU CORAZ\u00d3N, EN SU PENSAMIENTO Y EN SU LUCHA.<\/p>\n

PERO COMO QUIERA SIEMPRE SER\u00c1N BIENVENIDAS, MUJERES QUE LUCHAN.<\/p>\n

Words of the Zapatista women at the closing ceremony of the First International Gathering of Politics, Art, Sport, and Culture for Women in Struggle in the Zapatista Caracol of the Tzotz Choj Zone<\/h4>\n

March 10, 2018<\/p>\n

Good evening, good morning, good afternoon, compa\u00f1eras and sisters in struggle, wherever you may be.<\/p>\n

Sisters and compa\u00f1eras who have accompanied us in this First International Gathering of Women in Struggle:<\/p>\n

We are going to say a few words on behalf of all of us, the Zapatista women of the five caracoles.<\/p>\n

We would like to thank the compa\u00f1eras from the city who worked as part of the support teams: we know very well how fucking hard they worked to handle the emails, registration, organization of transportation, and the scheduling of times and locations for all the activities.<\/p>\n

We would also like to send our regards to our Zapatista compa\u00f1eras who could not come to this gathering, and who stayed behind attending to other tasks so that we could be here.<\/p>\n

Similarly, we would like to thank our compa\u00f1eros who had to stay behind to take care of our families, animals, homes, barracks, and fields, and who were on alert in case the bad governments committed any malicious acts against this gathering.<\/p>\n

But our final words are especially for you, sisters and compa\u00f1eras, women in struggle.<\/p>\n

Women in struggle on the five continents of the world, we humbly and sincerely thank you, with all our hearts and with resistance and rebellion, for your participation. This goes for those of you who are here as well as those who are following closely what happened here.<\/p>\n

Thank you for your ears, your eyes, your words, your workshops, your presentations, your art, your videos, your music, your poetry, your stories, your plays, your dances, your paintings, your weird things which we had no idea what they were, and all you brought to us so that we could know and understand your struggles.<\/p>\n

We take this as a very valuable gift that we are going to care for and make grow even larger because we are going to take it to our communities and towns so that more Zapatista women can share in the gift you gave us.<\/p>\n

We receive this gift with respect and affection because all of you made a huge effort to travel here from your places of struggle, from your times and customs, from your worlds, to be at this gathering, which we still don\u2019t know if turned out well or not.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve already looked at some of the comments that were deposited in the Criticisms Box. We still have to read everything and analyze it all among ourselves. In that box, we found a letter whose message we think applies to all of us. A compa\u00f1era is going to read it.<\/p>\n

(A compa\u00f1era reads the letter: it is from the family members of the disappeared students of Ayotzinapa, asking that they not be abandoned and left alone in their struggle, because the bad government wants to close their case and let it fade into oblivion.)<\/p>\n

We haven\u2019t looked at all the comments, but we assure you of our commitment to fix what you\u2019ve pointed out as wrong and to improve what you\u2019ve said wasn\u2019t done properly.<\/p>\n

We can say clearly, though, that so far the great majority are criticisms of errors and mistakes that we have in our organization.<\/p>\n

We are going to take all your critiques into account to improve next time, if there is a next time. All those criticisms, along with our word that we shared over these past few days, will be published on the Enlace Zapatista webpage so that all of you can see them.<\/p>\n

But regardless, we want to know what you all think in general.<\/p>\n

So we ask you, compa\u00f1eras and sisters:<\/p>\n

Did the gathering turn out mostly all right?<\/p>\n

Or did it turn out badly?<\/p>\n

Well, regardless of whether you respond that it turned out well or badly, we\u2019re going to tell you something in all sincerity, something that we ask you to keep just among ourselves here, as women and women in struggle. So don\u2019t go around talking about it, especially with men.<\/p>\n

The truth is, sisters and compa\u00f1eras, we suffered a lot because we didn\u2019t know how we were going to pull this off.<\/p>\n

This was our first time organizing an event like this, alone, just the women.<\/p>\n

And we organized it from below, that is, first we had meetings and discussions in our collectives in the communities and towns, then in our regions, then in the zones, and finally among the five zones together.<\/p>\n

And if we women take a long time to come to a small agreement, well you can imagine what it\u2019s like when it\u2019s a big agreement such as the decision to host this gathering.<\/p>\n

It took us months to arrive at an agreement among all of us. Because the thing is, if we\u2019re going to do something we have to do it among all of us, collectively.<\/p>\n

And there\u2019s no guidebook or manual for how to do that.<\/p>\n

Nor could we ask the male compa\u00f1eros because they don\u2019t know how to do it either because, as we said, nothing like this had been held before.<\/p>\n

So among ourselves, we had to figure out how to do it.<\/p>\n

We were thinking about it the whole damned day and all the damned night. We could barely eat. And we could hardly sleep.<\/p>\n

We were worried about whether it was going to turn out well or turn out badly.<\/p>\n

We were worried as Zapatistas yes, but we were also worried as women.<\/p>\n

Because we invited you, so it was on us whether it turned out well or badly.<\/p>\n

We had to think about where you would sleep, where you would eat, where you would bathe, where you would go to the bathroom, the sound, the lights, the water, what we would do if you got sick, what we were going to say to you, how we would talk to you, and how we would listen to and see you.<\/p>\n

So, we apologize with all our heart for the errors and mistakes we made in carrying all this out. To be sure, next time, if there is a next time, the things you critiqued won\u2019t turn out as badly.<\/p>\n

Because we think the most important thing, first and foremost, is that you feel at ease here, that you feel comfortable.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s also important that we see and listen to each of you, because you made a long fucking trip to come all the way out here and it is only right for us to listen to and see all of you, whether or not we agree with what you say.<\/p>\n

There was no way one collective was going to be able to organize all that. That\u2019s why more than two thousand Zapatista women from the five caracoles were here.<\/p>\n

And maybe that wasn\u2019t even enough, because there are about five thousand of you, though some say eight thousand and others say nine thousand.<\/p>\n

We can only guess exactly how many women in struggle were here over the past few days, but we think we can all agree that there were a shitload of us.<\/p>\n

And we didn\u2019t think so many would come, because this place is very and there are few comforts here.<\/p>\n

If we had known there would be so many of you, perhaps more Zapatista women would have come so as to be able to embrace each and every one of you and say to you personally what we say to you now collectively.<\/p>\n

Six Zapatista women would have come for each one of you: a \u201cpipsqueak\u201d (that\u2019s what we call babies who\u2019ve just been born), a little girl, a teenager, an adult, an elderly woman, and a deceased woman.<\/p>\n

All women, all indigenous, all poor, all Zapatistas, all embracing you because it\u2019s the only gift we can give you in return.<\/p>\n

But in any case, sister and compa\u00f1era, understand that what we\u2019re telling you here is being whispered in your ear, in your language, in your way, in your time, by a Zapatista woman as she embraces you:<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t give up, don\u2019t sell out, don\u2019t give in.\u201d<\/p>\n

And it is with these words that we say, \u201cThank you sister. Thank you compa\u00f1era.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sisters and compa\u00f1eras:<\/p>\n

On that March 8, at the end of our contribution, each of us lit a small flame.<\/p>\n

We lit this flame with a candle so it would last, because a match goes out too quickly and a lighter could easily break.<\/p>\n

That small light is for you.<\/p>\n

Take it, sister, compa\u00f1era.<\/p>\n

When you feel alone.<\/p>\n

When you are afraid.<\/p>\n

When you feel that the struggle is very hard; when life itself is very hard.<\/p>\n

Light it anew in your heart, in your thoughts, in your gut.<\/p>\n

And don\u2019t just keep it to yourself, compa\u00f1era, sister.<\/p>\n

Take it to disappeared women.<\/p>\n

Take it to murdered women.<\/p>\n

Take it to incarcerated women.<\/p>\n

Take it to women who have been raped.<\/p>\n

Take it to women who have been beaten.<\/p>\n

Take it to women who have been assaulted.<\/p>\n

Take it to women who have been subjected to all kinds of violence.<\/p>\n

Take it to women migrants.<\/p>\n

Take it to exploited women.<\/p>\n

Take it to deceased women.<\/p>\n

Take it and tell each and every one of them that she is not alone and that you are going to struggle for her; that you are going to struggle for the truth and justice that her pain deserves; that you are going to struggle so that the pain she carries will not be repeated in another woman from any world.<\/p>\n

Take it and turn it into rage, courage, and determination.<\/p>\n

Take it and join it with other lights.<\/p>\n

Take it and, perhaps, you will come to think that there can be neither justice, truth, nor freedom in the patriarchal capitalist system.<\/p>\n

Then, perhaps, we can meet again to set fire to the system.<\/p>\n

And perhaps you will be beside us ensuring that no one puts out that fire until only ashes are left.<\/p>\n

And then, sister and compa\u00f1era, on that day that will be night, perhaps we will be able to say together with you:<\/p>\n

\u201cAll right, yes, now we are really going to begin building the world we need and deserve.\u201d<\/p>\n

And then perhaps we will understand that the really fucking hard work will have begun, and that right now we are only practicing, or training, so that we will know what is really most important and what is most needed in society.<\/p>\n

And what is needed is for no woman ever again\u2014whatever her world, her color, her size, her age, her language, or her culture\u2014to be afraid.<\/p>\n

Because here we know that when we shout \u201cEnough!\u201d, it\u2019s only the beginning of a long road, and that what is missing is yet to come.<\/p>\n

Sisters and compa\u00f1eras:<\/p>\n

Here, in front of all of us here present and those who are not here but who are present in their hearts and minds, we propose an agreement to stay alive and continue struggling, each of us according to our ways, our times and our worlds.<\/p>\n

Do you accept our proposal?<\/p>\n

Well, as we\u2019re writing this document we don\u2019t know whether you\u2019ll respond yes or no, but I\u2019ll continue to our second proposal:<\/p>\n

As we have already seen, not all of you are against the patriarchal capitalist system. We respect this and so we propose that we study it and discuss it in our collectives whether it\u2019s true that the system imposed on us from above is responsible for our suffering.<\/p>\n

If it turns out to be true, well then, sisters and compa\u00f1eras, there will be another day to agree to all struggle against the capitalist patriarchy and any patriarchy whatsoever.<\/p>\n

And we state clearly \u201cany patriarchy\u201d, regardless of whatever ideas are behind it or its color or its flag, because we think that there is no good or bad patriarchy, but rather that they are the same thing against us as women.<\/p>\n

If it turns out not to be true, well, regardless we\u2019ll be seeing each other in the struggle for all women\u2019s lives and for their freedom, and each one of us, according to her thoughts and her perspective, can build her world as she sees fit.<\/p>\n

Do you agree, in your worlds and according to your ways and times, to study, analyze, discuss, and, if possible, agree to name who is or who are those responsible for our suffering?<\/p>\n

Well, we still don\u2019t know at the time of this writing whether the agreement has been made or not, but we\u2019ll continue to the next proposal:<\/p>\n

We propose an agreement to get together again in a second gathering next year, not just here in Zapatista territory, but also in each of your worlds, according to your times and means.<\/p>\n

That is, for each person to organize gatherings for women in struggle or whatever they want to call them.<\/p>\n

Do you agree?<\/p>\n

We still don\u2019t know what you will have responded, but either way you will be welcome here, sisters and compa\u00f1eras.<\/p>\n

But we must ask you to please let us know ahead of time, because it\u2019s really rough when you tell us 500 of you are coming and you must have lost a \u201czero\u201d along the way because 5,000 or more show up.<\/p>\n

And hopefully when you come back you\u2019ll be able to say that in your worlds you met, discussed, and agreed upon whatever agreements you came to.<\/p>\n

That is, that your hearts, minds and struggles will have grown.<\/p>\n

But regardless you will always be welcome here, women in struggle.<\/p>\n

Thank you for listening.<\/p>\n

We will now have the formal closing.<\/p>\n

Comandanta Miriam has the floor:<\/p>\n

Good evening compa\u00f1eras and sisters.<\/p>\n

Thank you compa\u00f1eras, thank you sisters from the countries of the world and from Mexico who made the effort to arrive here to this little corner of the world.<\/p>\n

We have arrived at the end of our First International Gathering of Politics, Art, Sport, and Culture for Women in Struggle.<\/p>\n

The time is 8:36pm, Zapatista time, and I declare our first gathering \u201cclosed\u201d.<\/p>\n

Take care and safe travels.<\/p>\n
