3. MEXICAN REBELS HOST CONTINENTAL MEETING
More than 400 delegates from Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico, Peru, Puerto Rico, the US and Venezuela attended the Apr. 4-8 "Continental Meeting for Humanity and Against Neoliberalism" hosted by Mexico's rebel Zapatista National Liberation Army (EZLN) in the village of La Realidad, deep in Chiapas' Lacandona Forest. The meeting, focused on the Americas, was the first in a series of five to be held in Berlin, Sydney, Tokyo and an undetermined location in Africa in preparation for an "Intercontinental Meeting" at the end of July. The delegates in La Realidad received letters of support from well-known intellectuals and activists such as Uruguayan author Eduardo Galeano and Argentina's Hebe de Bonafini, leader of the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo.
