The EZLN is known for its unique approach to activism, combining traditional indigenous practices with modern political strategies. They emphasize grassroots organization and community participation, aiming to create a more equitable society. Their famous slogan, "Ya Basta!" or "Enough!" reflects their demand for change and justice.
