First Encounter of the Zapatista Communities with the Peoples of the World

Oventik, Liberated Territory
México
December 30 and 31 of 2006,
January 1 and 2 of 2007

At this encounter the zapatista communities will speak on the experiences we have had these past years with our autonomous governments; the challenges and problems that we have faced constructing this ant-capitalist project and we will try to, with humility and respect, to respond, speak and exchange, and above all, share our errors and stumbling, and also our modest achievements.

It is time to organize ourselves and to see how together, we will confront this evil that is Neoliberalism and which attacks humanity.
