Our event is inspired by the political strategy of “el común zapatista,” in that we aim to work across communities and organizations, collaborating with others who have resisted in their own ways.

Project YANO @projectyano.bsky.social · 29/12/2025
Together, we hope to share and translate lessons & strategies across our distinct but interconnected struggles to resist the ways our communities are positioned as both cannon fodder and targets of militarism–whether locally or abroad.

As part of Enero Zapatista 2026, we invite you to join us to discuss the ongoing crisis of predatory recruitment targeting our youth and our communities by the military, border patrol, ICE, and other fascist agencies for the interests of U.S. empire.

Project YANO is extremely grateful for our many individual donors, and the A. J. Muste Foundation for Peace and Justice @ajmuste.bsky.social. This year, we were one of three groups nationwide awarded their “No Justice, No Peace!” Award. Thank you for your support. projectyano.org/donate
The message continues, beneath a photo of a 2025 Sweetwater Unified High School career fair: inside a gymnasium, hundreds of students walk among exhibitor tables, with Project YANO’s table display in the foreground, surrounded by over a dozen young people watching other students spin a game wheel highlighting well-known people whose lives made or make social impact such as Harriet Tubman. A Project YANO representative stands behind a lectern holding a glass trophy presented by the A. J. Muste Foundation for Peace and Justice. Beneath it reads, “This year, Project YANO was one of three organizations nationwide awarded the A. J. Muste Foundation’s ‘No Justice, No Peace!’ award.”
Three paragraphs of text atop a sunset photo background conclude the message, describing Project YANO’s outlook on the coming year, and highlighting the need for continued grassroots donations. The message concludes, “Thank you so much for your ongoing support. Give at https://projectyano.org”.The Project YANO canopy at Chicano Park Day 2025 is pictured in a group photo of nine Project YANO volunteers and friends around a table with resources and activist buttons for youth. Beneath the photo is a description of Project YANO and the Project YANO logo.

This personal message from a board member at Project YANO recaps and reflects on our work in 2025. Looking to next year, we commit to deepening our struggle against predatory recruitment targeting our youth and communities by the military, Border Patrol, ICE,and other fascistic agencies.
A photo of violent repression from June 2025 in Los Angeles, with people in uniforms reading “Police, Homeland Security” facing away from the camera towards thousands of everyday people, many wearing face masks and holding protest signs and flags. The text below the photo introduces a message from a board member at Project YANO.The board member message continues across three paragraphs of black text on a white background. One sentence in the middle paragraph is highlighted in red: “Earlier this year, the Border Patrol recorded the busiest four-month recruiting stretch with more than 34,000 applicants.”The message continues, highlighting in red “signing bonuses are not guaranteed, you may be ordered to do what goes against your wishes and morals” beneath a photo of a classroom presentation by Project YANO, with about one hundred students in a room watching a recorded veteran’s testimony about false promises of education advertised by military recruiters.
The message continues, highlighting in red “[ICE recruiters] share the same playbook, preying on young people’s despair for the future”, beneath a photo of a Project YANO tabletop display, reading “Attend a 4-year university or study at a community college”, “A career in social change”, “Some things you should know before joining the US military”, “Free money for college”, and additional resources.
