The Zapatistas: Latest news and relaunch of London Group
The UK Zapatista Solidarity Network offers a workshop based on the practices of the Zapatista 'little school' this summer in Zapatista territory in Chiapas. Activists were invited to learn about the Zapatista practice of autonomy (health, education, justice; resistance; participation of women; good government), and were asked to respond from their own calendars and geographies. The workshop will update the situation in the Zapatista territories in resistance. Despite threats and oppression from the state and paramilitary groups, Zapatista territory continues to provide an inspiring anti-capitalist and decolonial example. This workshop will also relaunch the London Zapatista Solidarity Group.
