Subject: ZAPATISTA CROWDFUNDER
Sisters, brothers, hermanoas:
Compañeras, compañeros and compañeroas:
It is with great joy, excitement and hope that we share with you the
news of the journey of the Zapatistas to Europe.
On October 2020, the Zapatistas announced their ‘planetary journey’ to
the five continents. In May 2021, seven Mayan indigenous people (4
women, 2 men and 1 non-binary person) who are part of the Zapatista
communities set off on a sailing boat across the Atlantic on an
“invasion” to Europe to mark 500 years since colonisation. The first
group, the Squad 421, arrived in The Azores, Portugal, on June 13th, and
is now on route to Spain. Plans of their journey across Europe and the
arrival of a larger delegation will be announced soon. Among other
countries, the Zapatista delegation plans to arrive in the wrongly
called United Kingdom. Collectives and compas from different cities,
towns and regions are coming together to receive them in the islands and
we call everyone to join us in this historic time to listen, share and
learn about diverse resistances and struggles for another world where
there is room for everyone [todas, todos, todoas].
This “Journey for Life” represents a historical moment, one filled with
significance and importance for decolonial movements, indigenous rights,
and the potential for European movements and grassroots organisations to
learn from the Zapatista experience in autonomy and dignity, persevered
against overwhelming odds for over a quarter century. The Zapatistas
have spoken about their planetary journey as one that will bring
together struggles, people and worldviews. We have been invited to meet
and exchange experiences about our struggles against colonialism, the
fight against patriarchal capitalism, gender violence, racism, and for
the protection of land and natural resources.
We have set up a crowdfunder to support the Zapatistas on their journey
to and travels within the "UK", so as many people as possible have the
opportunity to meet the Zapatistas, learn about indigenous resistance,
and discuss what we in Europe can do to create a fairer, better and more
ecological world. The collected money will be used for: paying travel
expenses (including accommodation and food), covering COVID-related cost
to keep the delegation safe and supporting the compas on their trip to
other geographies. Any money which is left unused will be donated to the
Zapatista communities (Caracoles) in Chiapas, Mexico.
Please take a moment to visit the crowdfunder page with the full
information. Any donation counts and the first hours of the campaign are
critical to reach a broader audience and gather support for the
delegation!: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/zapatista-solidarity-network
You will notice that you can choose to make your donation in exchange
for a reward if you wish. We have amazing products from books, posters,
postcards, embroidered blouses. Your support is invaluable for us and we
are deeply grateful for it! Please share it with your contacts and
spread the word!
Please note that our first event in preparation for the Zapatista visit
is the Webinar 'The Zapatistas in Europe', TODAY Thursday 17th at 5pm
(BST). Please register here for the event:

10. CACKK goes camping update - CACKK
11. New Saturday men’s football secretary needed- Tom M

Hi Cows,
at this weeks QGM we had a discussion about trans and non-binary
inclusivity. In fitting with our inclusive and anti-homophobic/transphobic
ethos we have always been open to trans women and non-binary players.
However, we realised that this has been more of an un-written rule and
we've never really advertised the fact or explicitly stated it anywhere, so
these players may not know they would be welcome. Secondly, we wanted to
make sure that everyone on the team is aware of this, so that we have any
potential discussions now rather than making anyone feel that they were
being singled out in the future.
So, we would like to open up the discussion here. When other teams in our
network have had trans women playing for them, any complaints have tended
to be that these players might be unfairly or unsafely strong/physical (due
to both build and having been used to the men's game). The counter to this
has been that any cis woman could also be physically larger, stronger, of a
higher standard and/or more agressive than we are used to as a team.
The issue instead then becomes a separate one of how do we maintain a safe
and welcoming environment for *all *our players, including those who have
just started playing the game, are recovering from injuries or are
vulnerable due to past injuries etc. Because our core ethos as a team has
always been that we are open to players of all abilities and fitness
levels, we have a rule of no hard tackles (especially slide tackles) or
aggressive play*. This ethos has been fostered by all of us, and it is up
to us as players to have a word with someone who is playing a bit too
rough. This would apply to any trans or non-binary players just the same.
Apart from discussing it openly, we also decided that we should clarify all
this on the welcome leaflet and issue statements on all our social medias.
Our welcome leaflet currently states:
"*Training is for all abilities and is safe, inclusive, supportive,
friendly and FUN - please no hard tackles or aggro!*"
"*The ECCSSC is anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-fascist and anti-homophobic.
We respect the rights, dignity and worth of every person and will treat
everyone equally regardless of age, ability, gender, race,
ethnicity, religious belief, sexuality or social/economic status*" (this
is from the full club constitution).
I propose adding '*anti-transphobic*' to that list, and also adding a line
saying that "*Easton Cowgirls are open to all trans women and non-binary
players who share our core ethos and values*". I've attached an updated
version of the welcome leaflet for anyone who cares to check over and make
sure you're ok with it.
Then on our various social medias we can issue a statement saying the above
followed by a bullet list of our ethos and values.
We also talked at the meeting about optionally starting to say our pronouns
at training when we do our round of names, for anyone who feels comfortable
doing so.
Any comments? Additions? Suggestions? Worries? If you don't feel
comfortable replying to everyone here, talk to a committee member or
someone else you feel comfortable talking to.
Big Cow Love,
Sal xx
*Of course football is a physical game and some players in our team like to
play a bit more competitively or physically, and as we all get to know each
other you tend to know who you can play a bit harder against and who to
look after cos they're injured. It also only applies to our training, we
can't control how other teams in the casual league or at tournaments play.
Hi all,
Team Brave FREE football training session are starting tonight and open to everyone. Please see attached.
Just to clarify, this is not part of the cowgirls, but an initiative set up by someone in our league. If you want to get some more football training in a fun, inclusive environment then this is for you!
