OK folks. Those of you who are actively involved in solidarity work with
chiapas and the Zapatistas but who don't want to subscribe to every
relevant list can send me a note and get added to MY list, which is not a
regular list, just a mailing list. I subscribe to most relevant lists,
gather, sift, filter and pass on what I judge to be useful information
--useful to those involved in this struggle. I send on both Spanish and
English language material from the Internet and from PeaceNet. My list
now has about 100 addresses from all over the world. It's a lot of
information, you have to want/need it, pay attention and not let your
mailbox fill up with it. It's not for everyone. It's not for those with a
casual interest.
