XEVFS (La Voz de la Frontera Sur – "The Voice of the Southern Border") is an indigenous community radio station that broadcasts in Spanish, Tojolabal, Mam, Tseltal, Tsotsil and Popti from Las Margaritas in the Mexican state of Chiapas. It is run by the Cultural Indigenist Broadcasting System (SRCI) of the National Commission for the Development of Indigenous Peoples (CDI).

The broadcast facilities of XEVFS were seized by the Zapatista National Liberation Army (EZLN) in their January 1994 uprising and used to transmit rebel messages.[1]
