Answer

The main goal of the Zapatistas is to promote indigenous rights. They believe that indigenous peoples have been marginalized and oppressed by the Mexican government and society, and they are fighting for their rights to self-determination, autonomy, and land. The Zapatistas have been active since 1994, and their struggle has been met with both repression and support from the Mexican government and international community.
