Marcos's "Sixth Declaration of the Lacandon Jungle"

Marcos's "Sixth Declaration of the Lacandon Jungle" is a political statement by the Zapatista movement advocating for indigenous rights, social justice, and autonomous self-governance in Mexico. Released in 2005, it emphasizes the importance of local communities having control over their land, resources, and decision-making, rejecting government-led development projects that often ignore indigenous interests. The declaration calls for peaceful resistance and solidarity among marginalized groups, seeking to challenge exploitation and promote a society rooted in equality and respect for indigenous cultures. It frames these goals within a broader commitment to social transformation and grassroots participation.
