The Comite Zapatista De Los Angeles, formed in late 2001, "takes on as its own the struggle for the same demands made by the Zapatistas around the world;" and is based right here in Southern California! Today, Saturday, May 11, in Lincoln Heights, there is a Benefit for the CZLA (the money raised goes primarily to autonomous Zapatista projects in Mexico that the CZLA supports).
