Today in Labor History November 17, 1983: The Zapatista Army of National Liberation (AKA: EZLN, Zapatistas) was founded in Mexico by former members of the National Liberation Forces (FLN), allied with indigenous leaders from Chiapas. However, the indigenous Chiapans did not go for the Marxist-Leninist vanguardist approach of the FLN, leading to a more libertarian-socialist orientation for the EZLN. The Zapatistas, named after revolutionary indigenous leader, Emiliano Zapata, have been at war with the Mexican government since 1994. However, in recent years they have avoided military conflict, focusing, instead, on local and international organizing for indigenous rights. They continue to control large amounts of territory in the southern state of Chiapas.

Trans People Have Always Existed

Today in Labor History November 3, 1889: Amelio Robles Avila was born in Xochipala, Guerrero, Mexico. Assigned female at birth, Robles lived openly as a man from the age of 24 until his death at the age of 95. In 1911, Robles fought in the Mexican Revolution and for the overthrow of Porfirio Diaz. From 1913-1918, Robles fought as “el Coronel Robles” with the Zapatistas and was eventually given his own command. After Zapata was killed, he fought under Obregon in the Agua Prieta Revolt. One of his neighbors said that any time someone misgendered him, he would threaten them with a pistol. A public school was named after him using the masculine version of his name, though there is a museum in Xochipala that refers to him as “Coronela Amelia Robles.”

#Zapata - Torce con gli ultrà: Zapata, Freuler e Gollini sono testimoni di una passione che unisce tifosi e squadra. Un legame forte e autentico.
