Manuel Velasco: Si tocan a los Zapatistas nos tocan a todos. Los ojos del mundo están sobre ustedes.
Exigimos justicia por el asesinato del Compañero Galeano, un alto a la paramilitarización de Chiapas y respeto a las comunidades zapatistas que construyen su autonomía por la vía de la paz.
Queremos aprovechar para agradecer a todos los compañeros y compañeras que el pasado dia 18, domingo, estuvieron participando en la campaña por twitter. Las estadísticas reflejan que logramos una repercusión media alta, con más de 7500 y que, en momentos puntuales logramos ser tendencia, tanto en mexico como en españa. Fue un esfuerzo puntual, un acto muy concreto, una novedad en la forma de aplicar transnacionalmente la protesta en la red en un período temporal corto y concreto, una prueba, en definitiva, que nos ha demostrado puede ser válida.

E-Graffiti Action in Solidarity with the Zapatistas – May.24.2014
Dear Compañer@s,
We call on all of you to remember, mourn, and act.
Please join us in a day-long mass collective performance on Saturday, May 24th in solidarity with the Zapatistas and in memory of José Luis Solís López (Galeano) who was recently assassinated by followers of the mal gobierno (the “bad government”). Together, we will participate in a conceptual online performance/graffiti and will write the text of “El Dolor y La Rabia” (Marcos’ recent communique), all 700 pages of “Don Quixote”, and a number of other text to the error logs of the server that hosts the website of the President of Mexico many times over, depending on how many individuals and groups participate. Through the mass generation of 404-errors, we will collectively establish a performative matrix that imagines books and communiques in mourning and action.
We ask Tod@s to download the HTML files on to your desktop (a much better tactic) and use any browser by clicking index.html or to participate online by clicking directly on this url: http://www.thing.net/~rdom/ZapatistasMayo24/
Once open, leave the e-action performing in the background as you join us in the streets, mountains, and clouds in remembrance, mourning, and action.
