The Other Campaign is a collection of texts − in English and Spanish − by Subcomandante Marcos and his Zapatista compañeros that articulate a vision for »change from below,« a call to create social change outside and beyond the limits of electoral politics. Rather than depending on what they experience as an irreparably corrupt and out-of-touch political system, the Zapatistas are calling for change to come »from below,« from the power that will be unleashed when unrepresented and marginalized communities join forces.

The book includes a recent interview with Marcos, speeches made by Zapatista commandantes, as well as the full text of the Zapatistas’ »The Sixth Declaration of the Lacandón Jungle,« a collective statement that places the indigenous struggle for democracy in its historical context and articulates an evolving vision for democracy, dignity, and justice. »The Sixth Declaration« was released to the world in September 2005, putting out a call to all Mexicans and to marginalized groups around the globe, inviting them to join in a network of solidarity.

The Other Campaign is the living voice of revolutionary struggle in Mexico today − a passionate and powerful call for the creation of »one world in which many worlds fit.« More than ten years after their emergence as a compelling new voice, the Zapatistas continue to inspire and bring together individuals and groups around the world who believe that "another world is possible.«
