The Onça Quilombo community in Maranhão, Brazil

The Onça Quilombo community in Maranhão, Brazil recently suffered a violent invasion at the hands of armed thugs led by a local rancher.

Afrodescendant Quilombola communities in Brazil face a host of threats at the intersection of racism and land grabs. Despite the violent attack, state authorities are doing little to nothing to ensure the safety of the quilombola people. In some cases, they're even complicit.

Our partner @moquibommaranhao has called for solidarity with the Onça Quilombo community. Stay tuned for online actions you can take in the coming days.

Starvation isn't an unfortunate consequence of war

Starvation isn't an unfortunate consequence of war; it's a deliberate tactic. 🚨

Local and national food systems are systematically dismantled, creating dependency on aid and imports that can be reduced or cut off entirely by external forces, leaving entire populations in the balance.

As we commemorate #InternationalDayofPeasantStruggle, we're reminded of the critical importance of what our global movement partner @la_via_campesina_official, representing millions of peasants and rural peoples across the globe, is struggling for in its call for food sovereignty: a fundamentally different food system grounded in principles of self-determination, ecological balance, and respect for human rights, among others. A food system in which food cannot be weaponized because people have sovereignty over their food and territory.

In a conversation with @insidephilanthropy , our team delves into the importance of funding food sovereignty and movement-based responses to today’s hunger and human rights crises.

🌾 The upcoming #InternationalDayofPeasant struggle and the ongoing hunger crisis in Haiti and Palestine sheds light on the critical importance of food sovereignty.

Famine isn't a natural occurrence; it's engineered, with local and national food systems systematically dismantled. The signs are clear, urging swift action and solidarity.

Our mission at Grassroots International has always been rooted in embracing the global movement for food sovereignty. Since the early 1990s, peasant movements worldwide, united under @la_via_campesina_official, have challenged the dominance of multinational corporations over the global food system.

Over the years, the momentum of food sovereignty movements has grown, inspiring policy shifts and alternative food systems globally. As we approach the #InternationalDayofPeasantStruggle, let's stand in solidarity, reaffirming our commitment to food sovereignty and advocating for peasant rights.

An Israeli airstrike killed Dunia’s (aged 12) family and took her leg. While recovering in Khan Younis, an Israeli tank shell hit the hospital and killed Dunia.

Because of Israel’s genocide, Dunia will never become the doctor she wanted to be.

Listen to her words from her hospital bed, at Naser Hospital on November 25, three weeks before her death.

🌿 In the intricate tapestry of human struggles, healing and wellbeing are essential threads, weaving resilience and resistance against violence and trauma. At Grassroots International, we see healing as more than an individual journey; it's a collective stand against systemic injustices.

As April arrives, marking #SexualAssaultAwarenessMonth, we stand with communities worldwide in their collective responses to gender-based violence, and all forms of violence, centering the voices and experiences of survivors.. From Palestine to Puerto Rico, from Honduras to Haiti, our work intersects with diverse movements, echoing a universal call for healing justice.

Join us in this journey of resistance, renewal, and radical healing. Together we can create a liberated future, where we can not only heal and care for one another, but address the roots of so much trauma — injustice.

For today, Palestinian Land Day, it’s sad to have to say that defending land and territory must include defending hospitals and medical facilities — including ones for cancer patients.

Members of the Palestinian Medical Relief Society (@palestinianmedicalreliefsoc), our long-time grantee ally and a key organization providing medical care in Gaza, recently reported from one of their medical facilities that was bombed, and destroyed by the Israeli army.

The center was critical in addressing the needs of cancer patients in Gaza — with the only machine in Gaza that could analyze cancerous cells.

End Israel's assault on Gaza. We call for a permanent ceasefire and a free Palestine.

Let's talk about Defense of Territory – a critic

Let's talk about Defense of Territory – a critical theme at Grassroots International. From fighting corporate land grabs to advocating for Indigenous sovereignty, these struggles are about protecting the sacred connection between people and place, which is under threat globally.

💪 At Grassroots International, our work in defense of territory began with our support for Palestinian liberation four decades ago. Today, in the face of Israeli genocide against the Palestinian people of Gaza, this work could not be more necessary.

🌍✊ Join us this #WorldWaterDay as we shine a light on ecological justice! At Grassroots International, we're all about supporting communities fighting for their rights to land, water, and a healthy environment. From promoting sustainable farming practices to resisting polluting industries, we stand with movements working towards a future where people and the planet thrive together.

One of the ways we're making a difference is by championing agroecology – farming in a way that works with nature, not against it. Through farmer-to-farmer training, agroecology schools, and more, social movements are leading the way in building resilient food systems and combating climate change.

But it's not just about championing solutions – it's also about exposing the false promises of big corporations and standing up for environmental justice. From the Niger Delta to Puerto Rico, communities are fighting back against injustice and demanding change.
Join us in supporting these grassroots movements and let's create a world where ecological justice prevails! 🤝

🌍 As we approach the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination on March 21, let's shine a light on the challenges faced by social movement activists worldwide. Grassroots International stands in solidarity with these activists, working tirelessly to protect their rights.

In countries like Palestine, Brazil, and Haiti, our partners document and share information about human rights violations, raising awareness and demanding justice. But their work doesn't stop there. The human rights organizations we accompany take legal action and advocate for the recognition of new human rights, amplifying the voices of those on the front lines of social change.

Join us in defending human rights and promoting equity for all. 🤝

Carbon credits... and slavery?

In Brazil, slave labor is being used to clear a forest in a carbon offset scheme.
Indigenous movements, including our partners and allies, have long decried these schemes for actually leading to more destruction and displacement. Now we can add slavery to the long list of problems with this false solution.
