It's impressive to see the file of Zapatista Comandantes walk in. They are wearing a spectrum of clothing, from various traditional outfits to military fatigues. The only thing that connects them all is the iconic mask. They are everyone, they are no one.
The conference consists not only of speakers from a range of organizations in Mexico, but from around the world. We have teleconferences with leaders in Honduras and Brazil and the Zapatistas announce their new global campaign to combat indigenous land encroachment around the world.
Actions are vague, but the conversation has begun. Not only here, but anywhere people feel that they've lost control over their lives.
Examine your life. How much control do over your life do you really have? Do you own the land/business where you work? Where you live? If not you, then who and why do you tolerate this lack of control?
Join the conversation, or start one yourself. Eduaction is our weapon and our voices our ammo. Switch your safety off.
