CNI Convocation for a National Working Assembly for the Indigenous Governing Council and the Peoples who make up the National Indigenous Congress

To the originary peoples of Mexico,

To the council members of the Indigenous Governing Council,

As agreed upon in the assembly of the National Indigenous Congress (CNI) May 26-28, 2017, with regard to a new National Assembly to be held in October in the state of Chiapas, in Zapatista territory: the indigenous peoples, nations, tribes, and barrios of the CNI call upon the originary communities that we are to name delegates, men and women, to continue the path we have set out for ourselves.

Considering:

1. That the displacement, repression, exploitation, and disrespect against our peoples does not stop but rather becomes increasingly and brazenly violent every day;

2. That the Indigenous Governing Council for Mexico (CIG) has been strengthened by representation from originary peoples, nations, and tribes across the majority of the indigenous geography of our country, and has proposed the construction of an anticapitalist agenda via 9 working groups in order to call on all peoples of the countryside and city to organize to stop the war imposed on us by the powerful;

3. That the CNI has been building networks of support and solidarity all over the country which are weaving from below the new country and new world that we need;

4. That the time for the peoples to flourish has come, and that is time for our word, bearer of the pain of this country and the dignity and life of our peoples and expressed through the CIG, to make make the earth tremble:

WE CONVOKE THE NATIONAL WORKING ASSEMBLY FOR THE INDIGENOUS GOVERNING COUNCIL AND THE PEOPLES THAT MAKE UP THE NATIONAL INDIGENOUS CONGRESS
