A local activist who was in Central America working with human rights groups and NGOs has contributed a report on the 2005 Zapatista New Year Celebration in Oventic. The report mixes personal observations with historical information about the Zapatistas and their ongoing rebellion.
The report was file as part of the Guatemala Update, a special feature of the Media Mouse site on which a group of local activists posted updates on organizing in Guatemala and Central America during their visit. Jeff Smith, a member of the group, was recently interviewed on on the January 21st installment of Catalyst Radio.
The activists will also be presenting at GVSU's 2005 Conference of the Americas on Feburary 5, 2005 at 12:30. The title of the presentation is "Globalization & Resistance in Mesoamerica: Plan Puebla Panama & CAFTA."
