In a very superficial way, it seems like there's something of a stronger presence here than in Ciudad Obregón. This based on the fact that around the plaza are several pieces of wood painted with EZLN images and messages -- advertising the arrival of the otra campaña.

Not only people migrate from Mexico to the United States every day—ideas cross the border as well. In California, many collectives inspired by the Zapatistas’ Sexta Declaración de la Selva Lacandona (Sixth Declaration of the Lacandon Jungle) and the Otra Campaña (Other Campaign) have tried to incorporate the message of autonomy “from below and to the Radio Zapatistahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08113329040216946305noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25097772.post-1149746529672041342006-06-07T22:59:00.000-07:002011-02-04T07:07:48.102-08:00Otras Alternativaspor Alejandro Reyes
Agua Prieta, Sonora, es una pequeña ciudad fronteriza que, según nos dicen, vive sobre todo del negocio de la inmigración. Aquí llegamos en el calor del medio día y fuimos recibidos por Sergio, quien nos llevó al CRREDA, Centro de Recuperación y Rehabilitación de Enfermos de Drogadicción y Alcoholismo. Los directores del centro y los funcionarios son todos narcodependientes Radio Zapatistahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08113329040216946305noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25097772.post-1149611140917525652006-06-06T09:20:00.000-07:002011-02-04T07:08:04.388-08:00CompasOne more photo. It's a little bright, but it features cameos of some of the people we've been working with here in Arizona. From left to right, Josete, Delle (from Border Links), Miguel, Alejandro, and Dan.

Yanet está muy delgada y tiene la mirada triste. Lentamente se desplaza con su andador y se acomoda con dificultad en el sofá. Tiene un pie enyesado y, en las rodillas, profundas llagas. Hablando con lentitud, llorando cuando los recuerdos se vuelven demasiado vivos, nos cuenta su historia.

Just across the border into Arizona we stopped for the night. Since we couldn't find a campground that wasn't specifically set up for RVs, we decided to just pull off the highway we were on, drive into the desert, and camp there.

Here's Alejandro and I along with several other participants, including Hermann Bellinghausen (and his son). We also attended an event at the South Central Farm in Los Angeles, which is being threatened with evictions. Here are a couple grafs from Bellinghausen's article in La Jornada about the event:
