On the road to climate justice
Readers,
I am very excited to share that this morning I will embark on a journey with La Via Campesina on behalf of the Rural Coalition. They have sent me as part of delegation to participate in caravans that will depart from different parts of Mexico. Today, I , along with others we will depart from Acapulco in route to D.F., Mexico City. Have a look at the La Via Campesina video explaining 1000 Cancuns.
We are just one caravan of many traveling to Cancun for climate justice, and we are of 1000s globally that are in solidarity. More stories to come. Check out the youtube set up to share peoples’ stories: http://www.youtube.com/user/BeyondCancun#p/a/u/1/NoxLNurdek4
