ACTIONS TO END THE WAR IN CHIAPAS ON APRIL 1OTH


"This is the war of disdain being carried out in Chiapas.
The Indians are treated like uncomfortable animals.  And
Nestle, the multinational, wait impatiently  for the affair to
be resolved: the coffee is waiting...

Near Acteal, in Polho, on a sign at the entrance of the camp
of the displaced Zapatistas, the following words are read:
"What will happen to us when the last of you is gone?" And
I ask myself: what will happen to us when
we lose the last dignity in the world?"

-Jose Saramago, "The War of Disdain"


It is this war of disdain that intensifies with each passing
day in Chiapas. How much longer can civil society allow
the Mexican government and its financial partners to get
away with this genocidal war against Indigenous
dignity?  How many more must die?

We must ask ourselves the same question that Jose
Saramago has asked: "What will happen to us when
we lose the last dignity in world?"

What will happen to us if the Mexican government
destroys the Indigenous rebel dignity of the Mexican
Southeast?

We ask all people of conscience to organize and/or
participate in some kind of action to end the war in
Chiapas on April 10th. Demonstrations, phone calls,
faxes, emails, picket lines, vigils, electronic civil disobeidance,
meetings at Consulates, poster/banner campaigns, fundraisers,
collecting ballots-ANY ONE OF THESE HELPS TO
SEND A MESSAGE TO THE  US AND MEXICAN
GOVERNMENTs THAT WE WANT AN  IMMEDIATE
AND JUST POLITICAL SOLUTION TO THE WAR
IN CHIAPAS!!!

The work however does not stop there.  We must continue to
increase and sustain pressure on both governments to end the war
and implement the San Andres Agreements on Indigenous Rights.
Already groups around the country are organizing community dialogues,
caravans, events, film festivals, hunger strikes, letter and email
campaigns-and one woman in Louisville, Kentucky has pledged to
not pay taxes this year in protest of US military aid to Mexico.
This is encouraging, however we need even more people get involved
and take action!

Through these actions and others, the objective is to reach new sectors
and broaden the base of understanding of the political significance of
the Zapatistas' struggle. Our final goal is to convert understanding and

solidarity into concrete actions that can help bring an end to this war.

So, we ask for a little piece of heart beginning April 10th...
