To Those Who Are Not Indifferent to War — Zapatistas

An open letter from organizations, collectives, networks, and public figures from Mexico and other countries demand an “end to all forms of direct and indirect harassment against the community of Belén and all Zapatista localities.”

#ZapatistasUnderAttack

To those who are not indifferent to war:

In the midst of the war against humanity that commodifies everything, the exercise of the Zapatista common is as hopeful as it is uncomfortable. There is nothing more dangerous to the owners of capitalist and colonial power than the commons that the Zapatistas are building in their territory.

Dispossession, exploitation, contempt, and repression are the daily food of the violent hydra. Against this, day by day, pathways of autonomy are being built in the dignified and rebellious Zapatista communities, which not only continue to exist despite the imposition from above of a curtain that has sought to erase them from the Mexican landscape, but are growing, strengthening, reorganizing, and continuing (as always) to inspire.

The denunciation published by the Assembly of Zapatista Autonomous Government Collectives (https://wp.me/p9YUg-6Fj) on September 28 regarding the systematic harassment carried out through inter-institutional operations (Federal Army, Ocosingo Municipal Police,Chiapas State Attorney General’s Office) against the Zapatista village of Belén in Caracol 8 “Dolores Hidalgo” over land intended for communal work between Zapatistas and non-Zapatista is an example of the urgency with which municipal, state, and federal governments seek to stifle the growth of the idea that land can belong to those who work it in common. In addition to the fact that these lands have already been paid for, as the Gobiernos en Común (Governments in Common) point out in their denunciation: “… it is clear that this is a plan by the three levels of bad governments because it has already been paid for and why is the land now being handed over again? What the fourth transformation is seeking here is conflict, confrontation, and war.”

They prefer to generate confrontations between communities and maintain the power that comes with managing that violence, rather than allowing a process of deep and concrete autonomy to grow, in which Zapatista and non-Zapatista communities find ways to coexist and build their present and future without ceding their decision-making power to caciques, rulers, or businessmen.

It seems that President Claudia Sheinbaum prefers that the land belong to caciques and murderers and that the “good and wise” people continue to be satisfied with the crumbs of welfare.

In August of this year, at the meeting “Resistance and Rebellion: Some Parts of the Whole,” the EZLN showed, without pretense or rhetoric, a process of profound self-criticism and the radical reorganization that this implied in its ways of organizing, governing, and building its process of autonomy. It was also a space where those of us who dream of a world after the storm came together, in person or from a distance, to feel the beat of our dignified and rebellious hearts beating stronger with the inspiration and example of the Zapatistas.

It was a moment when hope found sustenance. Today, the state government of Eduardo Ramírez Aguilar in Chiapas and the federal government of Claudia Sheinbaum are fueling violence and cruelty in what appears to be a strategy to provoke the EZLN in order to justify a massacre and an attempt to intensify the war, even though they are trying to hide it.

We, the undersigned, urge and demand an end to all forms of harassment, direct and indirect, against the community of Belén and all Zapatista communities.

The presence of the Armed Forces, state and municipal police, and the prosecutor’s office is clear evidence of who is responsible. It only remains to say that any damage caused in this context will only increase and intensify the repudiation of a government that presents itself as different but replicates the same cruelty and contempt. The Zapatista struggle goes beyond fads, borders, official narratives, and rhetoric. We are watching, from inside and outside Mexico, and we want to say to our Zapatista compañerxs:

We are here!

C.G.A.Z. Denunciation — Zapatista

Assembly of Zapatista Autonomous Government Collectives (A.C.G.A.Z)
Common Governments

Chiapas, Mexico September 24th, 2025.

To the people of Mexico and the world
To the compañeros of the National Indigenous Congress
To national and international civil society
To the National and International Sixth
To human rights organizations
To alternative media
To the national and international press

Denunciation:

We strongly condemn the attack, harassment, and manipulation carried out by the three levels of bad government against the Zapatista support bases on the issue of recovered land.

We note the following events:

First: On April 22nd, May 12th, July 12th, and August 29th, 30 people from the municipality of Huixtán, headed by Emilio Bolom Álvarez, Miguel Bolom Palé, Miguel Vázquez Sántiz, and David Seferino Gómez, arrived, protected by the Federal Army and the municipal police of Ocosingo, at the town of Belén in the farming region of Dolores Hidalgo, Caracol 8, where our Zapatista support bases are living, in charge of collective work in the region and of work from a common milpa with our non-zapatista brothers and sisters. This land was recovered in 1994.

We tried to negotiate with them, but they clearly told us that the government had already given them the land and that they had the legal documents.

At this time, they threatened and harassed our compañeros, telling them to leave the land by any means. They tried to manipulate us by saying that if they came to an agreement with our compañeros, they would respect them. They destroyed our signs and measured the land.

Faced with these threats and by agreement of the assembly of Zapatista Autonomous Government Collectives (A.C.G.A.Z.), we agreed that we must withdraw because we must plan to defend ourselves.

Second: On September 18th, 20th, and 22nd, 15 people positioned themselves on the property. On September 20th, two Federal Army trucks, three Ocosingo municipal police trucks, and four State Attorney General trucks arrived again. They destroyed and burned the homes of the Zapatista support base authorities, stole corn, and those who stayed back continued to steal. We tried to negotiate again, but they never understood because the bad government had already formally given the land to them.

Third: We don’t lie to the people of Mexico and the world that those lands were already paid for by the bad government since 1996, when Manuel Camacho Solís was alive. it’s clear here that this is a plan of the three levels of bad governments because it has already been paid for, and why is it now handing over the land that has already been paid for? What the Fourth Transformation is seeking here is collision, confrontation, and war.

Our attempt to seek dialogue was in vain. We have often said that we don’t want war, what we want is common life, but they are forcing us to defend ourselves.

It is clear that the Fourth Transformation is on the side of national and transnational landlords and businessmen. That is the true Fourth. Nothing is for for the poor people of Mexico.

This is what is happening, as if here in Mexico there is zero impunity, as if in Mexico the bad government is not in collusion with organized crime, as if here the bad system does not know the war of organized crime, as if here in Mexico there are not several sparks that can light a fire.

Photos and videos are in the hands of human rights organizations that prove that what we are now denouncing is true.

Compañeros of Mexico and the world:

Take care of yourselves. Maybe we’ll still see each other, or maybe we won’t. Maybe the last time we saw each other was at this last meeting. We’ll be attentive and in touch, and we’ll keep you informed. Hopefully, at that meeting at the Seedbed, you’ll have understood everything we’ve said, that is, the search for a common life.

Brothers and sisters of the people of Mexico and the world, this is what there is, the plan of neoliberalism in Mexico against us. As we well said at the meeting at the Seedbed: today it’s Palestine, tomorrow it will be us.

Yours,

Common Governments

Assata Shakur and the Duty to Free Our Comrades

Assata Shakur was a radical Black feminist, revolutionary, and freedom fighter. Her life was a testament to true liberatory practice, love, and community. She taught us about the interconnectedness of our struggles as oppressed people and the necessity for resistance in the face of state and imperial violence, by any means necessary and no matter the cost to our own comforts. She also taught us that liberation cannot be negotiated; it must be seized. She stands as a hero for those of us fighting for the liberation of the global working class, and we honor the sacrifices she made to advance that cause.

After years of being targeted and hunted by police for opposing the racist, capitalist, and imperialist U.S. as a member of the Black Panther Party and later the Black Liberation Army, and after being stalked and surveilled by U.S. state agencies, including the FBI, Assata was arrested and falsely accused of murdering a New Jersey State Trooper in 1973. Despite Assata’s innocence, and the many experts who testified that her injuries during the altercation would have made it impossible for her to commit the murder, she was convicted by an all-white jury in 1977. While in state custody, the conditions under which Assata was held were nothing short of barbaric and inhumane, including solitary confinement in a men’s prison, 24-hour surveillance, and denial of intellectual nourishment and adequate medical attention, including when she became pregnant while awaiting trial in 1973.

Assata’s story is one that many living in Lënapehòkink (The Bronx) and across the U.S. empire at large may recognize or relate to. Her insistence on life and her years of fighting for the liberation of Black people living under state violence serve as a reminder to us all to remain “reluctant warriors” in the face of U.S. state terrorism. It was Assata’s militant comrades in the Black Liberation Army who liberated her from incarceration by the state; they did not abandon her after she was apprehended. They understood, as Palestinians do, that there was no future for their movement without that freedom. Let us remember the comrades who broke her out, some of whom served decades in prison and some of whom remain incarcerated. Salute to Sekou Odinga, Silas Muhammad, Mtayari Shabaka Sundiata, Winston Patterson, Silvia Baraldini, Marilyn Buck, Mutulu Shakur and other BLA comrades.

It is the militants and revolutionaries who are most repressed and incarcerated. We must learn from Assata and her comrades and apply those lessons to today. We have several comrades who are currently incarcerated and must also be liberated. Free Casey Goonan, Jakhi McCray, Tarek Bazrouk, Leqaa Kordia, Mumia Abu-Jamal, Kamau Sadiki, Rev. Joy Powell, Elias Rodriguez — FREE THEM ALL!

After successfully liberating herself from prison with the help of fellow BLA members in 1979, Assata was eventually granted political asylum in Cuba by Fidel Castro, and she lived out the remainder of her years as a free Black woman on liberated land, remaining vocal and devoted to Black liberation. Thank you to our Cuban comrades who protected and embraced Assata for the 41 years she called Cuba home.

We thank Assata for her relentless sacrifice, education, and fierce love and commitment to Black people and all those oppressed around the world. May her life be a continued reminder to the struggle that although we must survive, we also deserve to live. May her memory propel us forward until we are all free. May her teachings help light the path as the struggle continues.

“Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them.”

Rest in Power, Comrade Assata.

C.G.A.Z. Denunciation — Zapatista

Assembly of Zapatista Autonomous Government Collectives (A.C.G.A.Z)
Common Governments

Chiapas, Mexico September 24th, 2025.

To the people of Mexico and the world
To the compañeros of the National Indigenous Congress
To national and international civil society
To the National and International Sixth
To human rights organizations
To alternative media
To the national and international press

Denunciation:

We strongly condemn the attack, harassment, and manipulation carried out by the three levels of bad government against the Zapatista support bases on the issue of recovered land.

We note the following events:

First: On April 22nd, May 12th, July 12th, and August 29th, 30 people from the municipality of Huixtán, headed by Emilio Bolom Álvarez, Miguel Bolom Palé, Miguel Vázquez Sántiz, and David Seferino Gómez, arrived, protected by the Federal Army and the municipal police of Ocosingo, at the town of Belén in the farming region of Dolores Hidalgo, Caracol 8, where our Zapatista support bases are living, in charge of collective work in the region and of work from a common milpa with our non-zapatista brothers and sisters. This land was recovered in 1994.

We tried to negotiate with them, but they clearly told us that the government had already given them the land and that they had the legal documents.

At this time, they threatened and harassed our compañeros, telling them to leave the land by any means. They tried to manipulate us by saying that if they came to an agreement with our compañeros, they would respect them. They destroyed our signs and measured the land.

Faced with these threats and by agreement of the assembly of Zapatista Autonomous Government Collectives (A.C.G.A.Z.), we agreed that we must withdraw because we must plan to defend ourselves.

On September 20th, two Federal Army trucks, three Ocosingo municipal police trucks, and four State Attorney General trucks arrived again. They destroyed and burned the homes of the Zapatista support base authorities, stole corn, and those who stayed back continued to steal. We tried to negotiate again, but they never understood because the bad government had already formally given the land to them.

Third: We don’t lie to the people of Mexico and the world that those lands were already paid for by the bad government since 1996, when Manuel Camacho Solís was alive. it’s clear here that this is a plan of the three levels of bad governments because it has already been paid for, and why is it now handing over the land that has already been paid for?

Leonard Peltier to be Released After Executive Action

As one of his last official acts, genocidal President Joe Biden on Monday commuted the life sentence of Leonard Peltier, 80, allowing the American Indian Movement member to serve the rest of his sentence in home confinement.

Peltier was wrongfully convicted of murdering two FBI agents during a 1975 shootout on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. He has maintained his innocence during his nearly 50 years in prison.

In a statement announcing the commutation, Biden said that Peltier suffers from serious health problems and has spent most of his life in prison. He will be transferred to home confinement Feb. 18 and has not been pardoned.

“It’s finally over — I’m going home,” Peltier said after learning of the commutation, according to a social media post from the NDN Collective, an Indigenous rights group. “I want to show the world I’m a good person with a good heart. I want to help the people, just like my grandmother taught me.”

Peltier is expected to return to his birthplace, the Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation near Belcourt, N.D., where a home is waiting for him to spend time with his children and grandchildren. He’ll have 72 hours after his release to report to local probation officials.

Nick Tilsen, NDN Collective founder and CEO, said in a statement that Peltier’s release: “is the result of 50 years of intergenerational resistance, organizing, and advocacy. We will honor him by bringing him back to his homelands to live out the rest of his days surrounded by loved ones, healing, and reconnecting with his land and culture.”

Lisa Bellanger, who grew up in the American Indian Movement and is now one of its leaders, said Peltier’s imprisonment was part of an longstanding government effort to discredit their organization, which was founded in Minneapolis in 1968.

“Today will go down in history as one of the greatest days in Indian country,” Bellanger said. “I’m very appreciative. We are very appreciative of his ability to come home. He has a family he has not met. We celebrate his release from the prison walls.”
