Tierra y Libertad

"Tierra y Libertad," meaning "Land and Freedom," is a revolutionary slogan associated with the Mexican Revolution, particularly linked to the Zapatista movement led by Emiliano Zapata in the early 20th century. It reflects the demand for agrarian reform and the rights of peasant farmers to own land. Zapata believed that true social justice required access to land for those who worked it, promoting both economic empowerment and social equity. This phrase symbolizes the struggle against oppression and the quest for dignity and autonomy for marginalized communities in Mexico and beyond.
