You can help save lives Zapatista communities and their heritage of progressive struggle during the Coronavirus pandemic!
On March 16, 2020 the Zapatistas wrote: “we exhort everyone everywhere, (men, women, and transgender people) in Mexico and the world, to take the scientifically-based sanitary measures necessary to allow us to move forward and get through this pandemic alive.” Click here to read the Zapatistas’ words about their Coronavirus pandemic response (now translated into various languages).
Schools for Chiapas applauds the insightful analysis and rapid decisions made by the Zapatista movement to control the Coronavirus; in response, today Schools for Chiapas pledges one million pesos to support the Zapatista health System during the crisis of the Coronavirus pandemic. Schools for Chiapas will donate all funds directly to the Zapatista health system.
Please support the rural autonomous Mayan communities of Chiapas, Mexico in addressing this public health challenge where the lack of running water, poor nutrition, and limited access to medicines make the Coronavirus particularly difficult to control and survive. Help us to quickly reach our goal of One Million pesos for the Zapatista Health System.
