How do we build trust across borders?

"We know that the struggle exists and takes time,
We want the struggle to stay in the memory, not just of one woman,
but of all women, so that they, too, can resist."
—Carmen, Tzeltal Mayan Woman

¡Hola! Welcome to my new blog:)

This blog was originally supposed to be a tool to use for a Women's & Gender Studies class collective project, but I plan to keep it active after the class is over. My research of the EZLN, particularly women's leadership/feminist roles within the movement and the use of technology by the Zapatistas will continue into graduate school and beyond. I'm excited about sharing my knowledge and learning from others. Please keep in mind this is a work in progress.

Thanks for visiting,
Risa
