Nuestra Aparente Rendición is a web portal working towards the collective reconstruction of Mexico and supporting the active and systematic proposals of thousands of people who are working for peace in our country. It is a critical and rigorous space that takes in and generates multiple expressions against terror and impunity. Its principal objective is to struggle against resignation in the face of the situation and establish conversation around all those issues that bind us as a society. The plurality of voices gathered in the web portal emphasizes the need to listen to one another, to know what is happening beyond the pain and the exhaustion, to propose paths forward, to give voice to greivances, to rebel. We believe that we are capable of assuming responsibility, as a society, of what is happening to us; and that beyond the pain, we will be capable of understanding and confronting this reality. We also know that we all have something to contribute. And you do too: we need you.
