Last week, Mexican armed forces attacked the Zapatista community of Nuevo San Rafael, burning down the village and violently evicting the Chol indigenous inhabitants. See the link below for more details...

The success of the Zapatistas has been largely ignored by the mainstream [corporate] press in the United States, as has the repressive actions taken against them by the Mexican government. As a result, most people in the US have little-to-no idea of the state-sponsored terrorism being directed at the Zapatista community.

We say: Ya Basta! For good or for ill, we know how to get media attention: Take to the streets! Mobilize on Sunday, February 8 to show your support for the people of Nuevo San Rafael!

More info on time and place to come soon.
