World Conference on Indigenous Peoples

Will grassroots people (who are not associated with non-profits) be attending the UN World Conference on Indigenous Peoples in New York? Will they have a voice? Will there be authentic journalists there? Bolivia President Evo Morales will be there and Bolivia is engaged in the planning. But already grassroots activists and authentic journalists are writing, wondering about the travel costs and whether they are invited. They are hoping it will not just be the same non-profits, and the same UN rhetoric which does not result in real change. World Conference Sept 22 -- 23, 2014, New York

Indigenous Resistance

Censored News halted publication in May, in solidarity with the Zapatistas, in honor of the murdered teacher Galeano. After the Zapatistas were attacked in La Realidad in May, Marcos announced that the persona of Marcos would "cease to exist." At the same time, I was near death in a hospital in Arizona. Indigenous Resistance now is a collective of authentic writers carrying forward the work of Censored News. If you kill one who voices the truth, thousands more will rise up to carry on. -- Brenda
