Zapatista Members Converge in Mexico

Mexico, Jul 23 (Prensa Latina) Over 3,000 delegates from 43 countries 
attend the Second Meeting of Zapatista Villages with the Peoples of 
the World, taking place in the Mexican state of Chiapas.

A call to "foster struggles and rebellions throughout the world to 
fight capitalism" characterizes this extensive meeting, which until 
July 28, joins the quest for "a fairer and humane life."

"We are convinced that the only way we have is unity, organization, 
uniting our struggles and exchanging experiences," commander 
Hortensia said to participants.

Subcommander Marcos and other officials from the sixth commission of 
the Zapatista National Liberation Army led the first sessions in the 
locality of Oventic, which will continue in that of Morelia and are 
expected to conclude in that of La Realidad.

Among the issues being examined are health, education, organization 
in communities, collective work, women´s struggle and its ways of 
organization and analysis of the process of autonomy.
