*Land Defenders Facing State Repression *

Gathering in memory of Berta Cáceres and Nelson Garcia from the Lenca
Indigenous people that were/are defending their territory and preventing
the construction of the Agua Zarca megadam.
In support of the families of the students disappeared in Ayotzinapa,
Mexico that continue looking for them and demanding justice.
Also in support of the Blueberry River and West Moberly First Nations from
northeast BC fighting against the proposed Site C Dam, shale gas and LNG
development in their territories, and the hunger strike that is ongoing at
the BC Hydro in downtown Vancouver repudiating the Site C dam.


Across the continent, defenders of the land are facing massive repression.
This month Berta Cáceres and Nelson García from the Civic Council of
Popular and Indigenous Organizations of Honduras (COPINH) were murdered by
state sponsored military or paramilitary forces. In Mexico 43 students from
Ayotzinapa Normal Teachers College we disappeared by forces linked to the
state on September 26, 2014. And in so-called British Columbia, the federal
and provincial state continues the dispossession of Indigenous people’s
land to make way for industrial mega-projects, threatening their way of
life and food sovereignty. These are just some examples of the tragedies
that the land stewards, indigenous people, peasants, migrant workers and
students are facing.

Instead of being intimidated, people continue to raise their voices and
demand respect of human rights, autonomy and sovereignty of the people.
People continue struggling for liberation from colonial and class
oppression; continue fighting for their right to the land and to build a
sustainable and just food system in harmony with the natural environment.


Saturday March 26 from 4:30 to 6pm

333 Dunsmuir St - BC Hydro building- between Hamilton & Homer - Unceded
Coast Salish Territory
