[Sdalliance] Open Letter to May 1st Coalition

[colectivo zapatista]

The letter is in the first email on this thread.

"This new period of Capital’s war against humanity must be faced, yes, with
organized resistance and rebellion, but also with solidarity and support
for those whose lives, freedoms, and goods are being attacked.
For this reason:
Whereas the system is incapable of stopping the destruction.
Whereas below and to the left there must be no room for conformity and
resignation.
Whereas it is time to organize to struggle and to say “NO” to the nightmare
they impose on us from above."

>From below and to the left,
Colectivo Zapatista
