Protest today in front of the Honduras Embassy in New York City during the weeks of the UNPFII (UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues).
IOSDE has run into our Mindanao Indigenous friends protesting the assassination of Berta Caceres and other Human, Indigenous and Nature Rights Defenders and People(s).
While a few well-positioned people in the halls of the United Nations continue to spend time, resources and attention to UN posts, diplomatic relations with States and funding therein, Indigenous Peoples and poor people, nature defenders, mothers and women, youth, workers and people of all kinds, faiths, backgrounds and lives around the world face conditions of murder, abuse, torture, displacement and worsening conditions.
We stand in solidarity for real change for all persons, nature and peoples- for real justice in the face of hallways, board rooms, conferences, policed dominance and endless paper trails begging for, demanding and calling for life, safety and peace.
