"... three round tables presented a thorough analysis of what the Zapatistas call “The Storm”, the transnational crisis and proxy wars to continue privatising land and stealing from the people to further the capitalist struggle.
... The “Table of Women” on the first day involved several Women commanders... They explained how Indigenous women work against patriarchal violence on a daily basis, with a focus on health, education, and the land.
... The next day Subcomandante Insurgente Moisés, in his presentation “Genealogy of the Zapatista Common”, talked about the historical development of dispossession, and how the land was organised as commons (el común) in his grandparents time.
... The presentation also raised the question of how each community can build its commons, either as workers, or as citizens of their own communities. ...
Insurgent Captain Marcos, formerly Subcomandante Marcos, gave a talk titled “The Watchtower: Signs towards tomorrow”. Here he directed a message to those across the pond (meaning us in Europe), focusing our attention on what the Zapatistas call “the day after”. This means getting ready for what happens when capitalism falls during the struggle, which the Zapatistas suggest will last for another 120 years or seven generations. "

the ground runs black with the blood of monsters
the husks of demons are cast aside
both light and dark repel the corruption
two heroes in the blackness rise allied

come draw your power near"

What city/state/location will this be taking place?

The Highlander School and the Weelaunee Coalition are calling for a week of action beginning January 18 and ending January 25, 2024.
As an organization born in MLK Jr’s birthplace, and the home of the fight to Stop Cop City that claimed our comrade, Tortuguita, on January 18th, and as educators and organizers moved to fight for the world our young people and ourselves deserve, we call upon all our relatives across the country & the world to bring our generation’s anti-war movement to their classrooms, schools, & communities.
This week of action is for those educators, students, parents/caregivers, & people of conscience who are moved to bring into practice reimagined education systems, methods of survival, and ways of knowing.
