“They exist at the edge of human #life in an #environment that is treated like a #toxic dumping ground by foreign #mining #companies. Millions of #trees have been #clearcut, dozens of villages razed, rivers and air #polluted, and #arable land destroyed. Our daily #lives are powered by a #human and #environmental #catastrophe in the #Congo.”

Sadly, the #state should be the one fighting for our #livelihoods, our #lives, but in Honduras, we're #criminalized and #condemned for #defending something that is ours being destroyed," said Juana Zúniga, community leader and life partner of José Abelino Cedillo, one of the #Guapinol8.
"To not fight is to be complicit in the #corruption," she said.

#RiseOfHaliburton: In the US the #SocialJustice angle is a truth closely accepted to be #fantasy. It’s either severely compromised within a republican dismantled bureaucracy or on the verge of being terminated by the rightward drift of metoo democratic rule makers in a bipartisan racist attempt to keep propping up the military industrial nuclear #KleptocraticState.
