URGENT CALL OUT: MEXICAN ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENDERS FACE 40 YEARS PRISON UNDER FABRICATED CHARGES
🚨 To all people, collectives and communities aware of environmental devastation, of the repression suffered by those of us who speak out, who fight for a world without inequality, for a dignified life, free from violence and oppression.
💦 Mexicalli Resiste has taken up the defense of water and territory as one of the most important struggles and is resisting against transnational company Constallation Brands that attempts to rob and destroy our sacred waters to make beer to sell in the USA.
✊🏽The community Cachillana has fought for more than 4years in defence of life and water. Now, they are trying to imprison us under fabricated charges of kidnapping and of ‘displacing’ the Congress during an occupation that occurred in 2017. Our compas and defenders are facing between 20-40years imprisonment because of these false and ridiculous accusations.
📣We demand that the government drops these absurd accusations and ends their repression of those who speak out. We are summoned to a hearing on August 10 and therefore require your support!
🗣CALL OUT
Please express your solidarity with our comrades, either with a video, a photograph, a painting, a drawing, a dance, a poster, a poem, a song, a rally, a march, a performance, an essay, a newspaper article, a mural, a cry, an embroidery ... whatever comes from his heart of solidarity ... Please we urge you to share your solidarity with us and include the hashtag #QueremosAguaYLibertad . International pressure is essential to help acquit our siblings from the corrupt governments that are trying to silence them.
We would particularly like videos or a photo with a poster calling for the Congress of Mexicalli to drop all charges against our siblings and comrades, León Fierro Resendiz, Tania Gallaga and Gabriela Aranguré.
You can send all these videos to this number (+4407495787923) or to aguaylibertad@outlook.com

Costa Rica is close to banning oil and gas exploration and some additional international attention may help it get through Congress. Please share on social media if you can, hashtag is #CRLibredePerforación.
https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/costa-rica-eyes-permanent-ban-fossil-fuel-exploration-extraction-2021-08-04/
From some campaigners:
Costa Rica is potentially close to make history by banning oil and gas exploration and exploitation by law, but the decision is in the balance. Next Monday Congress will vote on sending the bill back for discussion and improvement. We hope this happens, since the bill does need improvement. If the bill is changed - then we have a real chance of it becoming law (that would happen in September). The call next Monday is close though! We still need to convince some members of Congress to give the bill a chance.
That is why we would like to ask you to amplify our message and cheer Costa Rica on to give the law for a permanent ban on exploration a chance.

Costa Rica eyes permanent ban on fossil fuel exploration and extraction
Costa Rican lawmakers this week will discuss a bill to permanently ban fossil fuel exploration and extraction, a move that would prevent future governments from pivoting on the issue as the popular eco-tourism destination country aims to decarbonize by 2050.

The Fossil fuels industry invisible colonisation of Academia.
The Fossil fuel industry has a big "spheres of influence" which aso acts as it's enablers from:
Government: taking the example of Greenpeace's unearthed recent exposé on Exxon on the US senators - Both democrats and republicans - They have been working with to progress their agendas into legislation. "Exxon says it's not illegal" - I mean lobbying from them isn't and maybe that's the problem?
- taking example of many government formed climate boards that look good but behind it the members have ties and links to the big oil companies or their shell organisations/groups/coalitions.
UNFCCC - which publicly on their website lists key fossil fuel companies as their funders.
Banks - SCB, HSBC etc
Academia - read article below but also many ivy league schools are investing in the Fossil fuel industry but also some of their activities and theories they teach or courses their sponsor need to be reexamined.

Hello there.
Today we recommend that you read oil politics by community leader and activist Nnimmo Bassey from Nigeria.
The book is compilation of essays, papers and his works on the situation of shell in Nigeria which is a sysmptom of a whole greater issue of the fossil fuel industry and its sphere of influence.
It paints a damming picture of shell UK and It’s subsidiary Shell Nigeria, how fucking useless the is etc

What is a 'self-made' billionaire? How is Rihanna self-made?
Who's sewing the underwear? Who's producing the make up? It's all Rihanna in those factories?
What about the minerals and clothe and dyes to make it? Rihanna got those too?
Remember: Fenty - Rihanna's Brand - was under scrutiny for using Mica (a mineral in India) that is mined using child labor.

They have been doing this for decades now, and the conclusion remains the same: we must act now. People all over the world are already being impacted, and still world leaders are acting like there is no emergency.

The latest report on climate science comes on the heels of heatwaves, wildfires, flooding and storms. It will help policy-makers act on plans to curb emissions or adapt to climate change.
TW: mention of suicide.
In 1904, Ota Benga was kidnapped from Congo, and taken to America and exhibited at the Bronx Zoo in the monkey house.
He suffered inhumane treatment and ended up committing suicide 12 years later.
This system that treats people of color like animals and leaves them behind and exploits them is the root of the system we see today that signals to Global North leaders that it's okay if MAPA is being hit by the climate crisis already, it's okay if carbon capture plans they have displaces Indigenous Peoples, it's okay if renewable energy plans they have involve child labor in Global South countries. This is the system we fight against, the same profit-oriented racist system that brought us to the climate crisis cannot bring us out of it. We must fight for a world that leaves no one behind.
