Check out our newsletter, *"PEASANT STRUGGLES"* from La Via Campesina, featuring a selection of the latest articles, podcasts, and videos.
*GLOBALIZE THE STRUGGLE, GLOBALIZE HOPE!* As a global peasant movement, we welcome this new cycle with strength, mobilization, and solidarity in a world facing some of its gravest crises.
We hope that every home will have a plate of food, along with joy and hope for a better world. Our movement renews its commitment to fighting for Life, Social Justice, Peace, and Food Sovereignty for our peoples
*Your donations help us remain autonomous!*
La Via Campesina depends on funding from our supporters who are committed to the vision of food sovereignty. Your support allows the global movement to remain autonomous and independent of all influences, and to voice our grassroots proposals and demonstrate our agroecological practices in international and national policy-making spaces. We believe that the transformation of our society into a more inclusive and equitable one requires the collective efforts of all who firmly believe in the ideas of social justice and equity. *DONATE https://click.mailchimp.com/track/click/30010842/donatenow.networkforgood.org?p=eyJzIjoiOS16NGF0NFloQjJqblNVR0doTXY0dXZ5aElvIiwidiI6MSwicCI6IntcInVcIjozMDAxMDg0MixcInZcIjoxLFwidXJsXCI6XCJodHRwczpcXFwvXFxcL2RvbmF0ZW5vdy5uZXR3b3JrZm9yZ29vZC5vcmdcXFwvdmlhY2FtcGVzaW5hXCIsXCJpZFwiOlwiNTM1MjZhYmIxMWNjNGUwYmJjMGVjMzVlMjlkYjNjZDBcIixcInVybF9pZHNcIjpbXCJhZWIxMDZhN2VlZTYwZjJlOTU1NjgxOTk2NGExMDgxMjQ0YjA4OTliXCJdfSJ9*
*Palestine : A delegation from La Via Campesina in the West Bank witnesses the devastating impacts of the Israeli occupation.* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ During the 10-day visit, the delegation toured key regions, including Nablus, the Jordan Valley, Ramallah, Bethlehem, and Hebron, and met with Palestinian farmers, governors, and representatives from civil society organizations, including women’s cooperatives, youth groups, and human rights advocates. The meetings revealed a bleak reality: systematic policies of home demolitions, land seizures, and restrictions on access to water have devastated the livelihoods of Palestinian farmers and rural communities. *READ MORE https://click.mailchimp.com/track/click/30010842/viacampesina.org?p=eyJzIjoiWV82dzRMMEFCR2xGTjFzVDREWEZXX0NxckdrIiwidiI6MSwicCI6IntcInVcIjozMDAxMDg0MixcInZcIjoxLFwidXJsXCI6XCJodHRwczpcXFwvXFxcL3ZpYWNhbXBlc2luYS5vcmdcXFwvZW5cXFwvbGEtdmlhLWNhbXBlc2luYS1kZWxlZ2F0aW9uLXdpdG5lc3Nlcy1oYXJyb3dpbmctaW1wYWN0LW9mLWlzcmFlbGktb2NjdXBhdGlvbi1pbi10aGUtd2VzdC1iYW5rXFxcL1wiLFwiaWRcIjpcIjUzNTI2YWJiMTFjYzRlMGJiYzBlYzM1ZTI5ZGIzY2QwXCIsXCJ1cmxfaWRzXCI6W1wiZDgzNDA0MDY1ODRkYzk2Zjk4NDhmMWEzYTg1MmI3M2UzNzM0NjQ3ZFwiXX0ifQ*
*Haiti: Devastating floods leave a tragic toll on lives and livelihoods* ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Floods have added a new layer of suffering and loss in Haiti, a country already grappling with gang violence and extreme poverty. Today, Haiti is facing one of the worst natural disasters in its history, with devastating floods hitting especially the north, Grande-Anse, and the Northwest. The human and material losses are tragic. Dozens of bodies have already been recovered from the waters. Peasants, who form the backbone of the rural economy, have lost nearly all their crops, as well as animals vital to their livelihood. *READ MORE https://click.mailchimp.com/track/click/30010842/viacampesina.org?p=eyJzIjoiMHFROE56NkctTXdMNkM5NzZsdUF3Zlc5SjRjIiwidiI6MSwicCI6IntcInVcIjozMDAxMDg0MixcInZcIjoxLFwidXJsXCI6XCJodHRwczpcXFwvXFxcL3ZpYWNhbXBlc2luYS5vcmdcXFwvZW5cXFwvaGFpdGktZGV2YXN0YXRpbmctZmxvb2RzLWxlYXZlLWEtdHJhZ2ljLXRvbGwtb24tbGl2ZXMtYW5kLWxpdmVsaWhvb2RzXFxcL1wiLFwiaWRcIjpcIjUzNTI2YWJiMTFjYzRlMGJiYzBlYzM1ZTI5ZGIzY2QwXCIsXCJ1cmxfaWRzXCI6W1wiZmQyNWRjMjA5ZTE5Y2NlM2E3NTJhOTgwNzE3N2FlZDY0OGRlZTBhMlwiXX0ifQ*
