A communique from the Zapatista National Liberation Army (EZLN) 
"Intergalactic Commission," Dec. 24
Compañer@s, Herman@s: In a few days more will be Dec. 30, 2006, the 
start of the "Encuentro de los Pueblos Zapatistas con los Pueblos del 
Mundo" (Meeting of the Zapatista Villages with the Peoples of the 
World), which will end Jan. 2, 2007. The compañer@s of the support bases 
and the authorities of the autonomous municipalities and Good Government 
Committees (juntas de buen gobierno) of the Carcol of Oventic are very 
happy and animated, as are the compañer@s of the other caracoles 
preparing for the encuentro. As of Dec. 24, we have counted compañer@s 
from 30 countries whose rpesence is confirmed. From the American 
continent, we have registered compas from Argentina, Brasil, Canada, 
Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Estados Unidos, Guatemala, Mexico, 
Nicaragua, Peru, Puerto Rico, Uruguay and Venezuela. From Europe, 
brothers and sisters have arrived at Oventic from Germany, France, 
Belgium, Basque Country, Catalonia, Spain, Greece, Italy, Norway, the 
United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, Sweden and Switzerland. And from 
Oceania, we have met compas from Australia and New Zealand.

We have also had communication from compañer@s who, while very animated, 
were unable to come this time, but say they are preparing to attend the 
next encuentro in July...

After registering by Internet, all attendees should check in at the 
offices of Enlace Zapatista in San Cristo'bal de las Casas, Chiapas, 
Ignacio Allende Street, number 22-A, Barrio de San Antonio, telephone: 
(967) 6781013...

For our compañer@s around the world who have access to the Internet, if 
all goes well, there will be information transmitted live and direct of 
all our activities. You can also read accounts,updates, and see photos 
on our page:

You can also write us, tell us what you are doing, what you think, or 
send word by e-mail:

intergalactico@ezln.org.mx <mailto:intergalactico@ezln.org.mx>

The Zapatistas invite you to speak with us and exchange ideas and 
experiences. For the first time in our history, we are bringing together 
representatives from our five Good Government Committees and our Rebel 
Zapatista Autonomous Municipalities (MAREZ) to speak publicly about our 
humble work and the problems and challenged we confront... We are only 
trying to show what we are building, with many difficulties, but also 
with many desires construct another world, one in which those that 
command, command obeying.

Very well, compañer@s, we will be seeing you the days of the encuentro. 
We are waiting for you.

Insurgent Lieutenant Colonel Moises
EZLN Intergalactic Commission
