Members of Edinburgh Chiapas Solidarity Group recently returned from the Zapatista-controled areas of Mexico, where there’s a Health Centre built using money raised by the group. Their grassroots, all-volunteer effort has raised more than £24,000 for some of the most marginalised people on the planet. That’s some fine aftertaste for your coffee.
This meeting features a speaker from Chiapas on the ever-precarious situation there.
AUTONOMY, REPRESSION AND RESISTANCE
