#25Nov24 - Call to Action: Peasant women united for justice and Food
Sovereignty! Stop violence, hunger, and wars!
-------------------------
Throughout November, we invite you to self-organize and share your local
actions with us. We also invite you to form alliances with our national
and regional organizations and to amplify their struggles. We will
achieve this by building unity in action! We must peasantize feminisms,
and join forces in the fight for food sovereignty!

COP 16 - UN Convention on Biological Diversity: La Via Campesina's
Position Paper calls for inclusion of Peasant, Indigenous Peoples, and
traditional cosmovisions in political decisions
-------------------------
In the context of the climate crisis, it is important to recognize the
fundamental role of peasants, Indigenous Peoples, traditional, and
ancestral communities in the conservation of biodiversity and the
protection of the commons. We have always maintained a critical stance
towards the lack of social and climate justice, advocating for the need
for integral and popular agrarian reform, as well as the inclusion of
peasant, Indigenous Peoples, and traditional cosmovisions in political
decisions.

Call to Action for the 3rd Nyéléni Global Forum 2025: Systemic
transformation is NOW or NEVER!
-------------------------
Inspired by Nyéléni, a peasant woman who fought for the rights of
peasants--particularly women peasants--in Mali centuries ago, and by the
two previous Nyéléni forums named after her and that successfully
brought together thousands of grassroots organizations and allies across
all the world, we are enthusiastically reaffirming our call for joining
the process towards the "3rd Nyéléni Global Forum 2025."

Gaza. They are also condemning the illegal assaults on food sovereignty
and the right to food of people across Palestine and in Lebanon.
