This term originally referred to the revolutionary guerrilla movement started by Emiliano Zapata around 1910, and his followers, who were called "Zapatistas." Throughout the years, Shepard Fairey has done many prints dealing with Zapatistas.
The Zapatistas to whom Shepard refers in his work are part of the new movement in Mexico, which began in 1994 and was lead by Subcomandante Marcos.

Without the media, the Zapatistas would have been violently erradicated without the rest of the world even knowing."
