What is the Zapatista Solidarity Coalition?

The Zapatista Solidarity Coalition actively supports the Zapatista
communities in Chiapas.They continue to resist the Mexican
military and paramilitary efforts to divide and destroy those com-
munities.We raise money to fund creative economic development,
education and health projects.Thousands of dollars have been sent
to help people who have been displaced by the cruel para-military
groups sponsored by the uncaring Mexican Government.This
money has been spent to build schools and to develop cooperative
stores and health clinics.

Fund raisers are held to sell T-shirts,sweatshirts and other
items prodused locally,as well as arts and crafts from Chiapas such
as huipiles(dresses),purses,belts,bracelets,wall hangings.From
Mexico we also bring beautiful T-shirts whit messages of resistance.

The ZSC works to educate people in the U.S.about the
situation in Chiapas,Mexico by presentations employing
slides,videos and speakers.Presentations are made to schools,
universities,church and community groups.We also disseminate
information by making appearances on radio and television and by
writing articles for the print media.

We strive to put Zapatista principles into practice here in
our own community.This is done by sponsoring cultural programs
work with students and support the efforts of workers to organize.
We work in a collaborative,non-hierachial fashion.We invite you to join us!
The meeting is the first Sunday of each month at 10:00AM.
