Perseguidos por las fuerzas del mal gobierno, caciques, empresas extranjeras, criminales y leyes; contando muertos, agravios y burlas, los pueblos originarios, los guardianes de la tierra, acordamos pasar a la ofensiva y extender la palabra y la acci\u00f3n de resistencia y rebeld\u00eda.<\/p>\n<p>Con la formaci\u00f3n del Concejo Ind\u00edgena de Gobierno y la designaci\u00f3n de su vocera, Marichuy, el Congreso Nacional Ind\u00edgena se dio a la tarea de llevar, a hermanos y hermanas del campo y la ciudad, la palabra de alerta y de organizaci\u00f3n. El EZLN tambi\u00e9n pas\u00f3 a la ofensiva en su lucha de la palabra, la idea y la organizaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p>Ahora ha llegado el momento de que rindamos cuentas al CNI-CIG y a su vocera. Ya sus pueblos dir\u00e1n si hemos cumplido. Pero no s\u00f3lo a ellos, tambi\u00e9n tenemos debe con las organizaciones, grupos, colectivos y personas en lo individual (especialmente de la Sexta y las Redes, pero no s\u00f3lo), que, en M\u00e9xico y el mundo, se preocupan por los pueblos zapatistas y, en su tiempo, geograf\u00eda y modo, sin importar su lejan\u00eda en kil\u00f3metros, sin importar muros y fronteras, ni los cercos que nos ponen, siguen con su coraz\u00f3n palpitando junto al nuestro.<\/p>\n<p>La llegada de un nuevo gobierno no nos enga\u00f1\u00f3. Sabemos que el Mand\u00f3n no tiene m\u00e1s Patria que el dinero, y manda en el mundo y en la mayor\u00eda de las fincas que llaman \u201cpa\u00edses\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Sabemos tambi\u00e9n que la rebeld\u00eda est\u00e1 prohibida, como est\u00e1n prohibidas la dignidad y la rabia. Pero en todo el mundo, en sus rincones m\u00e1s olvidados y despreciados, hay seres humanos que se resisten a ser devorados por la m\u00e1quina y no se rinden, no se venden y no claudican. Muchos colores tienen, muchas son sus banderas, muchas las lenguas que les visten, y gigantescas son su resistencia y su rebeld\u00eda.<\/p>\n<p>El Mand\u00f3n y sus capataces construyen muros, fronteras y cercos para tratar de contener \u00e9se que dicen que es un mal ejemplo. Pero no lo pueden hacer, porque la dignidad, el coraje, la rabia, la rebeld\u00eda, no se pueden detener ni encerrar. Aunque se escondan detr\u00e1s de sus muros, sus fronteras, sus cercos, sus ej\u00e9rcitos y polic\u00edas, sus leyes y decretos, esa rebeld\u00eda llegar\u00e1 a pedirles cuentas tarde o temprano. Y no habr\u00e1 ni perd\u00f3n ni olvido.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Sab\u00edamos y sabemos que nuestra libertad s\u00f3lo ser\u00e1 obra de nosotros mismos, los pueblos originarios. Con el nuevo capataz en M\u00e9xico, sigui\u00f3 tambi\u00e9n la persecuci\u00f3n y la muerte: en apenas unos meses, una decena de compa\u00f1eros del Congreso Nacional Ind\u00edgena-Concejo Ind\u00edgena de Gobierno, luchadores sociales, fueron asesinados. Entre ellos, un hermano muy respetado por los pueblos zapatistas: Samir Flores Soberanes, ultimado despu\u00e9s de ser se\u00f1alado por el capataz que, adem\u00e1s, sigue adelante con los megaproyectos neoliberales que desaparecen pueblos enteros, destruyen la naturaleza, y convierten la sangre de los pueblos originarios en ganancia de los grandes capitales.<\/p>\n<p>Por eso, en honor a las hermanas y hermanos que han muerto, son perseguidos, y est\u00e1n desaparecidos o en la c\u00e1rcel, hemos decidido nombrar como\u00a0\u201cSAMIR FLORES VIVE\u201d\u00a0a la campa\u00f1a zapatista que hoy culmina y hacemos p\u00fablica:<\/p>\n<p>Despu\u00e9s de a\u00f1os de trabajo silencioso, a pesar del cerco, a pesar de las campa\u00f1as de mentiras, a pesar de las difamaciones, a pesar de los patrullajes militares, a pesar de la Guardia Nacional, a pesar de las campa\u00f1as contrainsurgentes disfrazadas de programas sociales, a pesar del olvido y el desprecio, hemos crecido y nos hemos hecho m\u00e1s fuertes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Y rompimos el cerco.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nos salimos sin pedir permiso y ahora estamos de nuevo con ustedes, hermanas y hermanos y\u00a0<strong><em>hermanoas<\/em><\/strong>, compa\u00f1eros, compa\u00f1eras y\u00a0<strong><em>compa\u00f1eroas<\/em><\/strong>.

Fuera encontramos casa, alimento, o\u00eddo y palabra. Nos entendimos como s\u00f3lo se entienden entre s\u00ed quienes comparten no s\u00f3lo el dolor, tambi\u00e9n la historia, la indignaci\u00f3n, la rabia.<\/p>\n<p>Entendimos, as\u00ed, no s\u00f3lo que los cercos y muros s\u00f3lo sirven para la muerte, tambi\u00e9n que la compra-venta de conciencias de los gobiernos cada vez es m\u00e1s in\u00fatil. Ya no enga\u00f1an, ya no convencen, ya se oxidan, ya se rompen, ya fracasan.<\/p>\n<p>As\u00ed salimos. El Mand\u00f3n qued\u00f3 atr\u00e1s, pensando que su cerco, cercados nos manten\u00eda. De lejos vimos sus espaldas de Guardias Nacionales, soldados, polic\u00edas, proyectos, ayudas y mentiras. Fuimos y regresamos, entramos y salimos. 10, 100, 1000 veces lo hicimos y el Mand\u00f3n vigilaba sin mirarnos, confiado en el miedo que su miedo daba.<\/p>\n<p>Como una mancha sucia quedaron los cercadores, cercados ellos dentro en un territorio ahora m\u00e1s extendido, un territorio que contagia rebeld\u00eda.<\/p>\n<p>Herman@s, compa\u00f1er@s:<\/p>\n<p>Nos presentamos ante ustedes con nuevos Caracoles y m\u00e1s municipios aut\u00f3nomos rebeldes zapatistas en nuevas zonas del sureste mexicano.<\/p>\n<p>Ahora tendremos tambi\u00e9n Centros de Resistencia Aut\u00f3noma y Rebeld\u00eda Zapatista. En la mayor\u00eda de los casos, estos centros ser\u00e1n tambi\u00e9n sede de caracoles, Juntas de Buen Gobierno y Municipios Aut\u00f3nomos Rebeldes Zapatistas (marez).<\/p>\n<p>Aunque con lentitud, como debe ser seg\u00fan su nombre, los 5 caracoles originales se reprodujeron despu\u00e9s de 15 a\u00f1os de trabajo pol\u00edtico y organizativo; y los MAREZ y sus Juntas de Buen Gobierno tambi\u00e9n tuvieron que hacer cr\u00edas y ver que crecieran. Ahora ser\u00e1n 12 caracoles con sus Juntas de Buen Gobierno.<\/p>\n<p>Este crecimiento exponencial, que hoy nos permite salir nuevamente del cerco, se debe fundamentalmente a dos cosas:<\/p>\n<p>Una, y la m\u00e1s importante, es el trabajo pol\u00edtico organizativo y el ejemplo de las mujeres, hombres, ni\u00f1os y ancianos bases de apoyo zapatistas. De manera destacada, de las mujeres y j\u00f3venes zapatistas. Compa\u00f1eras de todas las edades se movilizaron para hablar con otras hermanas con o sin organizaci\u00f3n. Los j\u00f3venes zapatistas, sin abandonar sus gustos y querencias, aprendieron de las ciencias y las artes, y as\u00ed contagiaron a m\u00e1s y m\u00e1s j\u00f3venes. La mayor\u00eda de esa juventud, principalmente mujeres, asumen cargos y los empapan de su creatividad, ingenio e inteligencia. As\u00ed que podemos decir, sin pena y con orgullo, que las mujeres zapatistas no s\u00f3lo van delante para, como el p\u00e1jaro\u00a0<em>Pujuy<\/em>, marcarnos el camino y no nos perdamos: tambi\u00e9n a los lados para que no nos desviemos; y atr\u00e1s para que no nos retrasemos.<\/p>\n<p>La otra es la pol\u00edtica gubernamental destructora de la comunidad y la naturaleza, particularmente la del actual gobierno autodenominado \u201cCuarta Transformaci\u00f3n\u201d. Las comunidades tradicionalmente partidistas han sido lastimadas por el desprecio, el racismo y la voracidad del actual gobierno, y han ido pasando a la rebeld\u00eda abierta o escondida. Quien pens\u00f3 que con su pol\u00edtica contrainsurgente de limosnas, dividir\u00eda al zapatismo y comprar\u00eda la lealtad de los no-zapatistas, alentando la confrontaci\u00f3n y el des\u00e1nimo, dio los argumentos que faltaban para convencer a esos hermanos y hermanas de que es preciso defender la tierra y la naturaleza.<\/p>\n<p>El mal gobierno pens\u00f3 y piensa que lo que la gente espera y necesita son limosnas monetarias.<\/p>\n<p>Ahora, los pueblos zapatistas y muchos pueblos no zapatistas, as\u00ed como los pueblos hermanos del CNI en el sureste mexicano y en todo el pa\u00eds, le responden y demuestran que est\u00e1 equivocado.<\/p>\n<p>Entendemos que el actual capataz se form\u00f3 en el PRI y en la concepci\u00f3n \u201cindigenista\u201d en la que los originarios anhelan vender su dignidad y dejar de ser lo que son, y que el ind\u00edgena es pieza de museo, artesan\u00eda multicolor para que el poderoso oculte lo gris de su coraz\u00f3n. Por eso su preocupaci\u00f3n de que sus muros-trenes (el del Istmo y el mal llamado \u201cMaya\u201d) incorporen al paisaje las ruinas de una civilizaci\u00f3n, para que deleiten al turista.<\/p>\n<p>Pero los originarios estamos vivos y rebeldes y resistiendo; y el capataz ahora pretende reeditar a uno de sus caporales, un abogado que alguna vez fue ind\u00edgena, y que ahora, como a lo largo de la historia mundial, se dedica a dividir, perseguir y manipular a quienes alguna vez fueron sus semejantes. El titular del INPI se talla todos los d\u00edas la conciencia con piedra\u00a0<em>p\u00f3mez<\/em>\u00a0para eliminar todo rastro de dignidad. Piensa \u00e9l que as\u00ed se blanquea su piel y su raz\u00f3n es la del Mand\u00f3n. El capataz lo felicita y se felicita: no hay nada mejor para tratar de controlar rebeldes que un arrepentido, convertido por paga, en t\u00edtere del opresor.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>-*-<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Durante estos ya m\u00e1s de 25 a\u00f1os hemos aprendido.<\/p>\n<p>En lugar de escalar en los cargos de los malos gobierno o convertirnos en una mala copia de quienes nos humillan y oprimen, nuestra inteligencia y saber se dedic\u00f3 a nuestro propio crecimiento y fortaleza.<\/p>\n<p>Gracias a las hermanas, hermanos y\u00a0<strong><em>hermanoas<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0de M\u00e9xico y del mundo que participaron en los encuentros y semilleros a los que convocamos en este tiempo, nuestra imaginaci\u00f3n y creatividad, as\u00ed como nuestro conocimiento, se abrieron y se hicieron m\u00e1s universales, es decir, m\u00e1s humanos.

The same word as yesterday, today, and tomorrow. It is the word of resistance and rebellion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\">In October of 2016, almost three years ago, during the 20<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary of the National Indigenous Congress [CNI], the sister organizations of the National Indigenous Congress and the EZLN made a commitment to go on the offensive in our defense of our Territory and Mother Earth. Persecuted by the bad government, by caciques, by foreign corporations, by criminals, and by the law, and as we accumulated insults, derision, and dead, we the originary peoples (the guardians of the earth), decided to go on the offensive and circulate the words and actions of resistance and rebellion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\">With the founding of the Indigenous Governing Council [CIG] and the selection of its spokesperson, Marichuy, the National Indigenous Congress gave itself the job of taking words of warning and organization to the brothers and sisters of the city and countryside. Meanwhile, the EZLN also went on the offensive in its struggle with its words, ideas, and organization.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\">The time has come to hold ourselves accountable to the CNI-CIG and its spokesperson so that their peoples can decide if we have lived up to what we promised. But it is not only the CNI-CIG that we are accountable to; we also have a pending debt with the organizations, groups, collectives, and individuals (especially those in the Sixth and the Networks [of Rebellion and Resistance], but not only them) that throughout Mexico and the world concern themselves with our Zapatista peoples. These are people who, whatever their calendars, geographies, and habits may be, disregard the walls, borders, and sieges that are erected to divide us so that their hearts can continue to beat close to our own.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\"><!--more-->The appearance of this new [presidential] administration has not fooled us. We know that the real boss has no other homeland than money, and that this same boss rules in the immense majority of the world\u2019s plantations that they call \u201ccountries.\u201d We also know that rebellion, dignity, and rage are absolutely prohibited. Despite that, all over the world, in its most forgotten and despised corners, there are human beings who resist being devoured by this machine and who refuse to give in, give up, or sell out. These people have many colors, they carry many flags, they come dressed in many languages, and their resistance and rebellion is enormous.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\">The big boss and his overseers build walls, borders, and sieges to try to contain these people who they claim are bad examples. But they never achieve their goal because dignity, courage, rage, and rebellion can\u2019t be held back or incarcerated. Even if they hide behind their walls, borders, sieges, armies, police forces, laws, and executive orders, sooner or later that rebellion will come asking for its due. On that day there will be neither forgetting nor forgiveness.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\">We know that our freedom will only come about through our own work as originary peoples. With the appointment of the new overseer to Mexico, the same persecution and death has continued. Within only a few months [of his administration], at least a dozen of our <i>compa\u00f1eros<\/i> of the CNI-CIG who were in the struggle were murdered. Among the dead was a brother much admired by our Zapatista communities\u2014Samir Flores Soberanes. Samir was murdered after having been singled out by Mexico\u2019s overseer who, despite Samir\u2019s death, marches on with the neoliberal megaprojects that will disappear entire peoples, destroy nature, and convert the blood of our originary peoples into profits for powerful capitalists. Because of this, in honor of our Brothers and Sisters who have died, been jailed, or are persecuted or disappeared, we decided to name the Zapatista campaign that ends today and that we are now making public: \u201cSAMIR FLORES LIVES.\u201d After years of silent work and despite the siege against our communities and the campaign of lies and defamation, despite military patrols, despite the presence of Mexico\u2019s National Guard, despite the counterinsurgency campaigns that were dressed up as social programs, and despite having been despised and forgotten, we have grown and we have made ourselves stronger.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\">\u2026 <b>And We Broke The Siege<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\">We broke the siege without asking for anyone\u2019s permission so that we could be with you all once again <i>hermanos, hermanas, hermanoas, compa\u00f1eras, compa\u00f1eros, compa\u00f1eroas<\/i>. We defeated the government\u2019s siege of our communities\u2014it did not work and it will never work. We broke their siege by travelling paths and routes that do not appear on any maps and cannot be detected on any satellites because they can only be found in the thought of our ancestors. The word, history, and example of our peoples, of our children, elders, men, and women also travelled with us as we carried all of them along in our hearts. Out there we found food, shelter, a careful ear, and the word of others. We understood each other like only those who share pain, a history, indignation, and rage can understand each other. In this process we understood that the walls that are built and the sieges laid only bring death, and that the attempt to buy and sell consciences that is constantly undertaken by governments is more useless with every day that passes. These attempts no longer fool or convince anyone; today these practices are old and rusted, and they fail.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\">That is how we left this siege behind, and all the while the Big Boss was convinced that we were trapped inside. From afar we could see the backs of the National Guard, soldiers, police, government projects, handouts, and lies. We came and went, back and forth, 10, 100, 1000 times as the overseer watched without seeing us, so sure of the fear that his fear would instill. Those who tried to encircle us are nothing but a dirty stain that is itself encircled by an even larger territory of rebellion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\"><i>Herman@s, compa\u00f1er@s<\/i>:<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\">Today we present ourselves to you with new <i>Caracoles<\/i> and more autonomous Zapatista municipalities in new zones of the Mexican southeast. We will now also have Centers of Autonomous Resistance and Zapatista Rebellion. In the majority of cases, these centers will also house a <i>caracol<\/i>, a Good Government Council, and Autonomous Zapatista Municipalities in Rebellion (MAREZ). Though it took time, the five original <i>Caracoles<\/i>, as their name would imply, have reproduced themselves after 15 years of political and organizational work. Our Autonomous Municipalities and Good Government Councils also planted new seedlings and watched them grow. Now there will be 12 Caracoles, each with its Good Government Council.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\">This exponential growth that today allows us to move beyond the government\u2019s attempt to encircle us is due to two things:<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\">First and foremost, our growth is due to the political\/organizational work and example set by the women, men, children and elders of the Zapatista bases of support. It is especially due to the women and youth of the EZLN. <i>Compa\u00f1eras<\/i> of all ages mobilized so that they could speak with other sisters in other organizations and sisters that had no organization. Without ever abandoning their own tastes and desires, the Zapatista youth learned from the sciences and arts and through these activities transmitted their rebellion to more and more youth. The majority of these youths, especially the young women, have now taken up posts in our organization and they steep this work in their creativity, ingenuity, and intelligence. Today we can say without any shame and with much pride that the Zapatista women are out in front of us like the <i>Pujuy<\/i> bird to show us the way and keep us from losing our way, on our flanks to keep us on track, and behind us so that we will not fall behind.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\">The second thing that made this growth possible are government policies that destroy communities and nature, particularly those policies of the current administration which refers to itself as the \u201cFourth Transformation.\u201d Communities that have traditionally supported the political parties have been hurt by the contempt, racism, and voracity of the current administration, and they have moved into either hidden or open rebellion. Those above who thought that their counter-insurgent strategy of giving out handouts would serve to divide Zapatista communities, buy off non-Zapatistas, and generate confrontations and demoralization actually provided us with the final arguments that we needed in order to convince those brothers and sisters that it is far more useful to dedicate our efforts to defending our land and nature.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\">The government thought, and still thinks, that what people need are cash handouts. Now, the Zapatista communities and many non-Zapatista communities, as well as our brothers and sisters in the CNI in the southeast and all over the country, have responded and are showing the government that they are wrong. We understand that the current overseer was brought up in the PRI and within its \u201cindigenist\u201d vision in which originary people\u2019s deepest desire is to sell their dignity and cease to be what they are. In that vision, indigenous peoples are simply museum artifacts or colorful artisanal items through which the powerful attempt to adorn the grayness of their own hearts. That vision also explains why this administration is so set on making sure that its walls (across the Isthmus) and trains (the ones they maliciously call \u201cMayan\u201d) include the ruins of a civilization as their landscape, with the added bonus that this way they can also please the tourists.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\">But we originary peoples are alive, rebellious, and in resistance. Meanwhile, the national overseer is trying to dress up one of his underlings, a lawyer who at one time was indigenous, so that he, as has happened throughout human history, can divide, persecute and manipulate those who were once his own people. This lawyer, who is now the head of the INPI [National Institute of Indigenous Peoples], must scrub his conscience every morning with pumice to carefully eliminate any traces of dignity. He hopes in this way to whiten his skin and take on the purpose and outlook of his real boss. His overseer congratulates him and congratulates himself because there is there nothing better for controlling a rebellious people than using one of them who has turned on his cause, who has converted himself into a puppet of the oppressor for money.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\" align=\"center\">-*-<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\">During these now more than 25 years we have learned a lot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\">Instead of climbing the ladder of official posts in the bad government or of converting ourselves into a poor copy of our oppressors, our intelligence and our knowledge was turned to the task of growing and building our own strength.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\">Thank you to all the <i>hermanas, hermanos<\/i>, and <i>hermanoas<\/i> from Mexico and the world who participated in the encounters and seedbeds that we convoked throughout this time. Thanks to you our imagination, creativity, and knowledge expanded and became more universal\u2014in other words, more human. We learned to look, listen, and speak otherness without derision, without standing in judgement, and without labels. We learned that any dream that doesn\u2019t encompass the world is too small a dream. What we now present to you and make public is the product of a long process of reflection and searching. Thousands of Zapatista community assemblies in Mexico\u2019s southeast thought together and searched for the paths, ways, and times to make this possible, and\u2014flying directly in the face of the powerful and their disdain in labelling us ignorant and stupid\u2014using our own intelligence, knowledge and imagination to do so.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\">Here we present to you the names of the Centers of Autonomous Zapatista Rebellion and Resistance (CRAREZ). There are 11 new CRAREZ and 5 original Caracoles for a total of 16.

You might contribute to this effort by collecting the necessary construction materials, by making an economic contribution, by hammering, cutting, carrying, and guiding others, and by sharing these moments with us\u2014whichever might be the most convenient way for you. In the next few days we will circulate another communique in which we will explain how, when, and where you can register to participate in these events.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\" align=\"center\">-*-<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\"><b>Brothers and Sisters, <\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\"><b>To the CNI-CIG<\/b>: we would like to set up a meeting to talk more about the work we have committed ourselves to: to share problems, difficulties, setbacks, and failings so that we can see which seeds do not give us a good harvest, which seeds actually hold us back, so that we can avoid these seeds and harvest only the best of our struggle. We would like to get together with those who are really making an effort on the organizational front of the struggle so that we can talk about what a good harvest and a bad harvest are. More specifically, we would like to propose that we jointly hold what could be called the, \u201cForum in Defense of Territory and Mother Earth\u201d (or whatever name you all see fit), which would be open to all people, groups, collectives, and organizations that are dedicated to the struggle for life. We propose that the forum be held during the month of October of this year on whatever days are most convenient for you. We would like to offer one of the <i>Caracoles<\/i> for the purpose of this forum or meeting on whatever dates you decide are most convenient.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\"><b>To the Sixth and Networks [of Rebellion and Resistance]:<\/b> we call on you all to get started on your analysis and discussion for the formation of an International Network of Rebellion and Resistance\u2014whether that be a pole, a nucleus, a federation, a confederation, or whatever you might call it. This Network should be based on the independence and autonomy of those who constitute it, explicitly renouncing all attempts at hegemony or homogeny, where mutual aid is unconditional and all share in each other\u2019s good and bad experiences, all the while working to circulate all the histories of the struggle that take place below and to the left.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\">To this end, we as Zapatistas will convoke bilateral meetings with groups, collectives, and organizations that are truly working in their own geographies. We will not hold large meetings for this purpose but we will make public in the next few days the how, when, and where of these proposed bilateral meetings. Of course, this is only for those who accept the invitation and always taking into account the varied calendars and geographies that you all might have.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\"><b>To those who have dedicated their life and their livelihood to art, science, and critical thought<\/b>: we will be inviting you to festivals, encounters, seedbeds, fiestas, exchanges, or whatever they might be called.

We hope to be able to have CompArtes specific to each art, for example, theater dance, visual arts [<i>artes plasticas<\/i>], literature, music, etc.. In addition, there will be another edition of ConCiencias, but perhaps this time we will start with the social sciences. Finally, there will be another seedbed for Critical Thought and we are thinking we will begin with the topic of The Storm.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\"><b>A special invitation to those with walk with pain and rage, with resistance and rebellion, and who are persecuted: <\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\">We will convoke an encounter between the families of the murdered, disappeared, and imprisoned and those organizations, groups, and collectives that are dedicated to accompanying those families\u2019 rage and their search for truth and justice. The only goal of this encounter will be for everyone to meet each other so you might share your pain and your experiences throughout your search. We as Zapatista peoples will limit our role to serving as hosts for this event.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\">The Zapatista <i>compa\u00f1eras<\/i> will convoke a new encounter among Women Who Struggle.

We as Zapatistas will limit our role to hosting this event.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\">We would like to see if it is possible to hold an encounter between groups, collectives, and organizations that work in the defense of Human Rights, in the manner and form they themselves decide upon.
