Episode Details

In this episode, CounterPunch shares voices from participants in the Zapatistas’ most recent gathering of activists, the “Semillero de Piramides, de historias, amores, y claro desamores,” in CIDECI, Universidad de la Tierra, Zapatista territory in San Cristóbal de las Casas, México. The 5 day event featured seminars and discussions with over 1000 attendees from 30 countries, to address resistance to this era of fascism.

Roberto Hernandez, from San Isidro, CA, is a Chicano professor at San Diego State University, who discusses the parallelism between the ethnic cleansing of Zapatistas, Chicanxs and Palestinians. We speak with Bruno from the Comité Argentino con el Pueblo Argentino, and Ana Vázquez, a professor at the Universidad Iberoamericana in Chiapas, and other messages of solidarity with Palestine direct from Zapatista territory.
