EZLN Support Bases

The EZLN, or Zapatista Army of National Liberation, emerged in Mexico in 1994, advocating for the rights of indigenous people and marginalized communities. "Support Bases" refers to the local communities and individuals who align with and support the EZLN's ideals and efforts, even if they do not participate directly in armed struggle. These bases engage in grassroots organizing, promoting sustainable agriculture, education, and healthcare, thereby empowering their communities and resisting oppression. The EZLN emphasizes autonomy, social justice, and preserving indigenous culture, making the Support Bases integral to its movement and philosophy.
