An #Indigenous Movement That Inspired the World

By Rebecca Bodenheimer
Updated on August 23, 2019

"The Zapatistas are a group of mostly #IndigenousActivists from the southern Mexican state of #Chiapas who organized a political movement, the Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional (Zapatista National Liberation Front, more commonly known as the #EZLN), in 1983. They are known for their fight for land reform, advocacy for indigenous groups, and their ideology of #AntiCapitalism and #AntiGlobalization, specifically the negative effects of policies like the North American Free Trade Agreement (#NAFTA) on indigenous communities.

"The Zapatistas initiated an armed rebellion in San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas, on January 1, 1994. The most visible leader of the Zapatista movement until recently was a man who went by the name of Subcomandante Marcos."
