ABSTRACT

Since its inception, EDT has staged nine “acts.” Each act takes place from 10am to 12pm, and from 4pm to 6pm (Mexico City time) on a designated day. Our actions have marked such historic dates as the anniversary of Emiliano Zapata’s death, Mother’s Day, the fourth anniversary of the Second Declaration of the Lacando Jungle, the third anniversary of the Aguas Blancas Massacre, the tenth anniversary of the biggest election fraud in recent Mexican history, Mexican Independence Day, the thirtieth Anniversary of the Tlatelolco Massacre, 506 years of colonization, the fifteenth-year anniversary of the birth of the EZLN, the first anniversary of the Acteal Massacre in Chiapas, and the fifth anniversary of the Zapatista Revolution. We also organized an action as civil disobedience against the infamous School of the Americas military training site.
