Hurricane Eta & Iota: La Via Campesina calls for urgent support and solidarity

HURRICANE ETA & IOTA DEVASTATES CENTRAL AMERICA. LA VIA CAMPESINA CALLS FOR URGENT SUPPORT AND SOLIDARITY 24 NOVEMBER, HARARE: Central America is extremely vulnerable to climate change, exposing it to severe hurricanes and tropical storms. In just this month of November, Hurricane Eta and then Iota, both touched ground in at the northeast corner of Nicaragua's Caribbean Coast and brought torrential rains, strong winds, landslides, and flooding in the entire region. The damage has been so far incalculable: roads, schools, electricity, internet, and potable water systems destroyed, and thousands of people left homeless. Disappearances and deaths are still being counted. The most severe damages that occurred are in rural indigenous and peasant communities. The peasants and workers in Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Panama were already suffering under the anti-poor policies of their neoliberal governments. To make it worse, people were already reeling under a crisis generated by the global COVID-19 pandemic. Now with Eta and Iota, these governments have taken advantage to enrich the dominant class instead of protecting human life. As people seek refuge in shelters, under bridges, and on the streets in these countries, with little access to water and proper sanitary conditions, we worry that the cases of this terrible illness will increase. Massive crop losses in beans, corn, vegetables, and animals also mean a sharpening of the hunger crisis. IT IS IN THIS CONTEXT THAT WE SAY, "ONLY THE PEOPLE CAN SAVE THE PEOPLE!". We reaffirm the urgency of peasant agroecology as the real solution to the climate crisis. In addition to attending to the immediate emergency of saving lives, we must also construct agroecological countrysides that are resilient to the storms ahead and ensure that our communities have access to healthy food. La Via Campesina is calling upon all its members and allies to unite in solidarity for the people and peasant movements of Central America, and coordinate our efforts to recover farms, homes, and communities in the region. We call on governments to defend life and respond to the needs of the people, and we support progressive forces that have organized prevention, mitigation, and recovery plans. We also make a call for concrete expressions of solidarity from international organizations, UN agencies, and individual supporters of our movement through the campaign organized by the Central American region, "ONLY THE PEOPLE SAVE THE PEOPLE".

*|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|* This edition of the newsletter is the result of a collective effort of organisations that are part of_ La Via Campesina's_ global movement. To subscribe to our monthly newsletter click here [1] The elected representatives of people must frame public policies in their states to promote local production and distribution of a diverse basket of food. It is essential that every government everywhere, prioritises the autonomy of their citizens in designing their food systems. Read the full statement [2] from La Via Campesina. La Via Campesina backs the UN Special Rapporteur's observation [3] that WTO policies have marginalised people's human rights concerns. UN Human Rights Council, Geneva: Via Campesina and allies intervene [4] at the #BindingTreaty negotiations virtually. Also read the campaign statement [5] on the latest Treaty draft. Young peasants call for a "Radical transformation of the food system", urges the UN Committee on Food Security to support food sovereignty [6] Land, agroecology & peasant identity: The experiences of young people [7] in Nicaragua. It's time to transform. It's time to Globalise Solidarity, Localise Agriculture [8]! "Namdu" - a producers' cooperative run and managed by farmers [9] in Karnataka, India. Mali: Union alleges intimidation and arrests [10] of activists and leaders. La Via Campesina extends solidarity and support [11] to the people of Thailand. Nyeleni Newsletter #41: "Beyond Land - Territory and Food Sovereignty" | #16October ------------------------- This issue of the Nyéléni Newsletter [12] looks at how land-related struggles have evolved over the past decades, starting with demands for agrarian reform to a more comprehensive framing, which asserts people's and communities' close and multi-faceted relationships to their territories. [13] Peasant seeds are endangered. Yet tampering with our seeds is akin to tampering with our food and our food sovereignty. It is also an attempt to erase the social memory of living beings, as seeds contain the history, collective vision, knowledge and practice of peasant communities the world over. This is why peasants everywhere are fighting for their preservation. Zin TV caught up with some of these peasants at the 7th International Conference of La Via Campesina in the Basque Country. YOU ARE AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE AUTONOMY OF OUR MOVEMENT ------------------------- As a supporter who has contributed financial resources to La Via Campesina, and as an activist who joins us on the streets and in the fields, your support is always welcome and put to good use.
