14 Pesos: Sigue la preparación de la Preaudiencia Nacional en Guanajuato ante el Tribunal Permanente de los Pueblos

ORIGINS // PURPOSE

This blog started in 2011 as a space to share stories while the author, as a law student, lived in southern Mexico.

The author is now an attorney, and this blog continues to serve as a space to share information relevant to struggles from below and to the left.

The blog's name references the average price of a cup of coffee - 14 pesos - during the year 2011 at the local cafés in San Cristóbal de Las Casas, Chiapas.

The price of a cup of coffee was the rent money needed to gain access to a work space and wifi for hours on end to upload stories and to conduct research.

The price of a cup of coffee was, and is, a luxury for many people in Chiapas, despite the fact that the coffee served in those cafés is produced by the same people who cannot afford to drink it.

Coffee

Access to work spaces

Access to internet

Access to information

The right to identity

The right to customs

The right to a home

The stories shared here --

All are political.

This space attempts to be a humble contribution to the stories of people fighting for a dignified life, people engaged in the process of constructing un mundo donde quepan muchos mundos.
