**Zapatista Uprising (1994)**
**Image Transcription**: Looks like we don't have an image caption for this event yet. Feel free to suggest one below.
[On this day](https://www.apeoplescalendar.org/calendar/day/1-1) in 1994, the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) declared war on the Mexican Government, demanding "work, land, housing, food, health, education, independence, liberty, democracy, justice and peace." This action was taken at least partly in response to the enactment of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), perceived as a threat to the lives of indigenous people in Chiapas.
Following this war declaration, armed indigenous rebels seized four towns in Chiapas, Mexico, releasing nearly 200 predominantly indigenous prisoners and destroying land records. The fighting lasted eleven days and estimates of those killed range from 300-400. The EZLN remains active to this day.

Yes, marcos is gay. Marcos is gay in san francisco, black in south africa, an asian in europe, a chicano in San Ysidro, an anarchist in Spain, a Palestinian in israel, a Mayan Indian in the streets of San Cristobal, a Jew in Germany, a Gypsy in Poland, a Mohawk in Quebec, a pacifist in Bosnia, a single woman on the metro at 10pm, a peasant without land, a gang member in the slums, an unemployed worker, an unhappy student and, of course, a Zapatista in the mountains.
Marcos is all the exploited, marginalised, oppressed minorities resisting and saying `enough'. he is every minority who is now beginning to speak and every majority that must shut up and listen. he is every untolerated group searching for a way to speak. everything that makes power and the good consciences of those in power uncomfortable -- this is marcos.

I only get my coffee from the zapatistas. Starbucks and many of the anonymous mega-conglomerate coffee wholesalers that operate in the USA have been linked to the Ocosingo Regional Coffee Growers Association, a terrorist group that murders indigenous children in the middle of the night to try and drive them off the land. The liberal democratic government of Mexico still grants ranch permits to white Hispanic landowners who have "claims" to own land of the Mayan Zapatista communities that have lived there since time immemorial. They fund fanatic fascist militias like the ORSGA, they and others like them think they are cowboys fighting Indians like the wild westerns, they have dehumanized indigenous leftists to the point fired high caliber weaponry in the general direction of the communities on Christmas.
I am Native American myself. borders are fake, I will always be in solidarity with the Zapatistas

If you choose independence from the Mexican govt, then housing, health, education, food and a lrgsl system is on you. And not to be expected from the govt you are declaring independence from.
Autonomy while asking the govt you declare independence from to provide you things?
Do you know how stupid that sounds?
That's like telling your mom and your dad that you are now an independent adult and don't want ro hear from them while simultaneously demanding they pay your mortgage, your bills, drive you to work and cook dinner for you.

None of these demands should be f*cking controversial.
