On this New Year's eve 2013 it's almost impossible to describe the excitement here in Chiapas.  On Dec. 21 over 40,000 Zapatistas marched silently through the streets of five cities in their first statewide mobilization since Jan. 1, 1994 and last night the movement published two communications along with a public letter.  Schools for Chiapas believes our work with freedom-loving schools here will quickly become stronger; we invite your participation.

These documents are available in Spanish by clicking here.  Please contact Schools for Chiapas if you find a high quality English translation.  Below find a document from Subcommander Marcos published on Dec. 21 when the photos in the newsletter were taken.

Schools for Chiapas has been saying for months that the autonomous, Mayan communities of Chiapas, Mexico are stronger and better organized now than at any time since we began working with Zapatista schools in 1996.

 Recent events confirm this belief that much progress has been made and with your support we anticipate great advances providing solidarity and support to Zapatista education in the areas of schools, health, ecological agriculture, and fairer trade.  Thank you for your continued belief in the possibility of new and better worlds for everyone.

Below find a reproduction of the letter released by the Zapatistas on Dec. 21, 2012, the first day of the new Mayan calendar, when 20,000 Zapatistas marched in San Christobal, 8000 in Palenque, 6000 in Ocosingo, 3500 in Margaritas, and 3500 in Altamirano.  There's a rough English translation after the document.

To Whom It May Concern:

 

DID YOU HEAR?

 

It's the sound of your world falling apart.

 

It's the sound and the day of our resurgence.

 

The day that was the day, was night

 

And night will be the day that will be the day.

 

                          DEMOCRACY!

 

                             LIBERTY!

 

                               Justice!
