Dear all

Today is #GivingTuesday. Over the last seven years, this has been an event that encourages movement-building by giving what you can and sharing what you have. DONATE

We continue to stand in resistance to rising neofascism, ethnonationalism, and right-wing populism around the world. In November, we faced an election between the fascist wing of capital and the neoliberal wing of capital. We defeated the fascists; tomorrow we will continue to challenge capital. There is no future in going back.

Perhaps more than ever, we recognize that struggles are shared across Latin America and the US. The Amazon and Pantanal are burning; California and Colorado are burning. A corrupt populist threatens democracy in El Salvador; a corrupt populist threatens democracy in the US. White supremacy lynches black men in Brazil; white supremacy lynches black men in the US. The extreme right-wing stole an election in Bolivia; the extreme right-wing tried to steal an election in the US.

Solidarity from the South to the North is the heart of our movement. There is wisdom in the South; there is struggle. In fact, it is only when the South is heard that the North can be civilized. Ignorance and intolerance build imperialism; respect makes empires fall.

In Solidarity and Resistance.

¡Que viva el Abya Yala!
