A No Land, No Life! solidarity webinar series organized by PAN Asia Pacific (PANAP), People’s Coalition on Food Sovereignty, and the Asian Peasant Coalition (APC) under the Global People’s Caravan for Food, Land, and Climate Justice (GPC) campaign.
A major component of the Global People’s Caravan for Food, Land, and Climate Justice (GPC) campaign is international solidarity to ongoing national or local struggles against land and resource grabbing. The GPC aims to mobilize support for these struggles in various ways, including education and awareness-raising of affected communities’ particular issues and demands.
The Peasants Rise against Land & Resource Grabs! solidarity webinar series will bring together South and Southeast Asian peasant movements campaigning against land and resource grabbing and corporate control of food and agriculture systems. These public forums will highlight the resistance of local communities and the assertion of their legitimate rights. They will contribute to informing and educating civil society, people’s organizations, and the general public about the region’s different land and resource grabbing cases, get their support for the affected communities, and build solidarity.
The webinar series will feature peasant movements and their advocates from Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, the Philippines, and Sri Lanka. The following are the groups involved in each country and their specific issues and campaigns on land and resource grabs.
The webinars will use a talk show/interview format with a host and a panel of guests representing the communities/organizations. The panel comprises local leaders on the frontlines of the struggle against land and resource grabbing in their communities. A set of questions will be provided to the panelists in advance to allow them to prepare concise but substantial responses. The interview is divided into three parts guided by a set of questions.
The webinar series will take place on the following dates and times:
