We continue the discussion begun in San Cristobal
de las Casas, México, and Xelajú Guatemala about
biological and cultural diversity. We defend our communities
against attempts to convert us into importers of foodstuffs
and exporters of natural resources. On the contrary, we fight
for an economic model that does not permit biopiratery, genetically
modified organisms , nor the environmental destruction done
by the powerful, but rather we strive for a system in which
communities are the principal actors and beneficiaries. At
the same time, we defend our right to cultural and political
autonomy, which is ever more diminished by being used as cheap
labor and passive consumers by the neoliberal system. We invite
grassroots groups and other groups interested in sharing experiences
and planning resistence at the regional and global level.
Registration Location:
At the main entrance of teh Escuela Normal de Occidente (ENO),
17th of July. On this day you can set up your installations
and expositions by organization and by country. Don't miss
the grand innauguration of the Jornada of Resistence, full
of energy, dances and hommages to our martyrs.
