Reflection: CAPISE Brigade to La Garrucha
By Loren Guerriero
The following is an account I related to my family and friends after a CAPISE brigade, it is intended for people who aren't familiar with Chiapas or the movement.
I just returned from a brigade with CAPISE (Center for Political Analysis and Socio-Economic Investigations). The brigades perform interviews in Zapatista communities and document land threats and human rights offenses. The information is then turned over the organization so they can track the activity of government and paramilitary groups and publish reports about actions normally gone unchecked. It also allows us outsiders to make a connection with the movement and communicate with people back home about what is happening here in the Jungle.
