John Gibler is a writer and journalist in Mexico who has been covering social movements for over three years. He has reported on the ground from the Zapatistas Other Campaign, the massive protests against electoral fraud in Mexico City, and the civil disobedience uprising in Oaxaca.

John Gibler will share stories of the underdogs and rebels who put their lives on the line to build justice from the ground up and the powerful entities working to repress them.

In his recent book, Mexico Unconquered, Gibler probes the overwhelming economic and class divisions in contemporary Mexico, home to the world's richest man, Carlos Slim, and to destitute millions. He explores the concept of the Rule of Law in a land known for its implacable corruption and impunity; the political machinations behind Mexico's devastating economic disparities; the implications and consequences of the annual exodus of half a million Mexicans to the United States; the unprecedented civil disobedience uprising in Oaxaca state; and the continuing Indigenous Present that resists the government's attempts to confine Mexico's 10 million indigenous peoples to calm and controlled corners of the past.
