Hope and Resistance:
Indigenous Women of
Highland Chiapas
With over 25 years working in the same Tzotzil Mayan community of Highland Chiapas,
Christine Eber brings knowledge, compassion and reciprocity to her current project, the life
story of a Tzotzil woman, "Antonia", and to the story of their influences on one another.
We will hear of the weaving cooperative Antonia helped found and what it has meant to
the lives of the women and their sense of their own self worth. And hear also how Christine has organized The Las Cruces/Chiapas Connection in order to sell the women's weavings in the
United States at a fair price, with all of the money going back to the women.
We will learn how all of this relates to the women’s participation in the movements of resistance
to try to bring dignity and a measure of political, cultural and economic autonomy
to their communities through the Zapatista Movement, the Word of God Movement (Catholic liberation theology) and the Catholic social justice organization, Las Abejas.

a photo essay on
immigration at the
Arizona/Sonora Border
by Bill Jungels
Every week in nearby places like Albion, Batavia, Sotus, farmworkers are being picked up by I.C.E., the border patrol or local police. They are jailed and deported, often breaking up families and social and religious communities. Their crime is coming here to harvest for us the food we eat, and trying to support their families.
