To commemorate the 25th anniversary of the founding of the Zapatista Army for National Liberation (EZLN) the Zapatista are now convoking the first 'Global Festival of Dignified Rage' to be held in Mexico on the 26th-29th December 2008.
By way of solidarity, and in the midst of the credit crunch a group of sympathisers feel this is an ideal opportunity for a whole range of people from civil society eg public sector workers, migrant groups, religious groups, community activists and other interested parties, to convene locally focused Zapatista inspired gatherings.

In London: we see this as an opportunity for activists across the city to come together to discuss and plan concrete, decentralised/simultaneous actions; in short to consider how to build a Zapatistan inspired movement in the UK.
There is an opportunity to discuss this at a London Social Forum meeting on Tuesday 21st October at the Bartlett School of Planning, Rm 217A, Gordon St at 7pm. For details of further meetings join e-list above.
