Jean Thévenot is a young farmer producing organic seedlings in the Basque Country, working with a wide range of varieties of veggies, flowers and aromatics using local seeds for gardeners and producers. He belongs to Confédération Paysanne in France and is active in the international network La Via Campesina (200 millions + farmers!). Jean works on various issues from labour conditions in european agriculture to defence of LGBTQIA+ rights, as well as the promotion of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Peasants and Other People Working in Rural Areas (UNDROP).

CRITICAL ACTION

Critical Action is a longtime friend of Z and a music and storytelling project grounded in liberation, solidarity, and resistance to authoritarian power. Through music, narrative, and multimedia, the project engages the same political realities and movement traditions that guide and motivate Z’s work.

If this project resonates with you, you can learn more about it and find ways to support the work using the link below.

Independent media is not disappearing because the ideas are weak.

It is disappearing because platforms reward speed, outrage, and algorithmic visibility over thoughtful analysis.

More than 100,000 people read Z every month, free of paywalls, ads, and billionaire owners. It takes fewer than 1 in 100 of them to fund all of it: 1,000 donors who keep Z independent, for everyone, and build what comes next.
