Onward to 2018!
#LaViaCampesina [3] #2018 - The creation of La Via Campesina was
principally founded on actions of solidarity, the urgency of mobilizing
solidarity as a fundamental value in light of the evictions, repression,
detentions and even massacres that peasants, men and women, were facing
(and are still facing) in various parts of the world. Accordingly we
highlight this call, just as we received the XV Navarre International
Prize 2017 for Solidarity: "Globalizing the struggle also means
globalizing solidarity, and the hope of the peoples of the world".
We feed the people and we build the movement to change the world!
