RIGHTS OF THE LAND, RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE: Educational Forum & Solidarity Letter-Writing for Climate and Land Defenders
This International Human Rights Day, we’re grounding the conversation where it truly begins: climate justice is land justice, and land justice is a human right.
In the Philippines, climate disasters don’t happen in a vacuum—they hit hardest where land has already been stolen, polluted, or militarised. Farmers, fishers, and Indigenous peoples who protect their communities from mining and corporate greed are the same people targeted by state violence. They’re harassed, red-tagged, disappeared, or imprisoned simply for defending the land we all depend on.
When the land is attacked, its defenders are attacked.
When the climate is exploited, the people are exploited.
Join us as we break down these connections between climate catastrophe, land dispossession, militarism, and human rights violations. Then, let's write letters of solidarity to climate and land defenders like Amanda Echanis, Jonila Castro, and others whose courage continues to light the way.
We study to understand. We gather to care. We act to resist.
See you there, London.
