Cherán es un pueblo indígena ubicado al noreste de la meseta Purépecha, en el estado de Michoacán. Con menos de 13,000 habitantes y por iniciativa de las mujeres, se han levantado contra el crimen organizado y la tala clandestina, que desde el 2008 há devastado el bosque de 27,000 hectáreas a tan solo 7,000. Atrincherados desde el pasado 15 de abril, la gente de Cherán destierra al Gobierno y Policía local por corruptelas y apatía ante la problemática, sustituyendo a éstos por una Comisión General que "autogobierna" y una ronda comunitaria que "autoprotege". Los voluntarios de ambas Fuerzas Comunales tienen un periodo rotatorio. "Vecino con vecino, cuadra con cuadra".
