Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos

Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional (Mexico)

Zapatistas

Since their first public actions in 1994, the Zapatistas have redefined the notion of revolutionary social change. Having launched what was initially an indigenous movement for "democracy, dignity and justice" in Mexico, they have grown to become the poetic heart of a decentralized international movement whose vision is another world is possible. Unconcerned with traditional modes of seizing power and instituting change from above, their effort has consistently been about listening, learning, and harnessing the power that comes from below, from communities and individuals. Their latest initiative is "The Other Campaign," a nationwide effort to meet with local resistance groups across Mexico and create new networks capable of challenging-and overcoming-the politics of power.
