Podcast – Forum for the Defence of the Territory: The Battle for the Coast of Oaxaca.
In Playa Salchi, a shotgun shell speaks louder than a thousand speeches. This episode from the Forum for the Defence of Territory and Agrarian Rights in Oaxaca reveals how fourteen indigenous and peasant organisations are standing up to the ‘Cartel of Dispossession’: an alliance of politicians, businesspeople and organised crime that uses violence to steal land. Through boycotts, occupations and civil disobedience, the communities are not only speaking out, but building collective responses to halt the advance of extractivism.
