First Declaration from the Exchange between the National Indigenous Congress and the Zapatista Army for National Liberation on Repression Against Our Peoples

The war against our indigenous peoples has gone on for more than 520 years. Capitalism was born of the blood of our peoples and the millions of our brothers and sisters who died during the European invasion. We must also add those who died in the wars of independence and reform, with the imposition of liberal laws, during the rule of Porfirio Diaz, and in the revolution.

In this new neoliberal war of conquest, the death of our people is the condition for the life of this system.

In the last few decades, thousands and thousands of us have been tortured, assassinated, disappeared, and imprisoned for defending our territories, our families, our communities, our culture – our life itself.

We do not forget. Because this blood, these lives, these struggles, and this history are the essence of our resistance and our rebellion against those who kill us; they live in the life and in the struggle of our people.

These are our most recent dead:
