A proposal to Zapatista Solidarity Groups.
CALL TO ACTION TO CO-ORDINATE MASS ZAPATISTA ACTION IN EUROPE, AMERICA AND BEYOND.
We the London Zapatista Action (LZA) solidarity group based in London, England are sending you and Zapatista solidarity groups across the world a proposal –
To co-ordinate a mass protest and action on the same day, throughout the world at Mexican embassies and companies which are involved in the Plan Puebla Panama; in order to tell the Mexican government:
NO TO THE EXPULSIONS IN MONTES AZULES !
NO TO THE PPP. !
YES TO THE SAN ANDRES ACCORDS !
AND THAT THE ZAPATISTA STRUGGLE IS ALIVE AND STRONG IN THE 5 CONTINENTS
We all know about the imminent violent evictions of Indigenous peoples in Montes Azules biosphere in Chiapas, Mexico and the increased military and paramilitary incursions and movements in and around the bases of support. Now is an important time to show solidarity and support for our companeros. The Zapatistas were unable to come and tour Europe, so let’s make their presence felt, through us, across the globe.
To begin with we would like for you all to contact us at
weareallzapatistas@yahoo.co.uk with the following information (below) and any other comments and suggestions.
1. Suggestions of dates for the Demonstration preferably of historical/special significance such as December 22nd (Acteal massacres), August 25th (assassination of Zapatistas 2002), Auagust 16 (The 1999 Mexican Army invasion of the "Amador Hernandez" village etc.
2. Dates that would be inconvenient for reasons such as conflicting with other major demonstrations, national holidays in your countries
3. A list of any solidarity groups that you may know
4. How in the future we may all co-ordinate our solidarity work/actions so as to have more impact.
