This event commemorates the massacre of 19 landless farmers demanding access to land and justice in 1996 in Brazil.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The international farmers\u2019 movement La Via Campesina is mobilizing this year by continuing to oppose the current international offensive by some States and large corporations to grab land from farmers, women and men, who have been cultivating it for centuries. We are also opposing the commercialization of nature and the Commons, which is something that is leading to a massive dispossession of people who are simply living on the land. Farmers, be they men or women are particularly affected.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This day of day action is taking place in the year when La Via Campesina\u2019s is celebrating its 20th anniversary. To launch the next 20 years of struggle, we are calling for a massive \u00a0day of mobilization on 17th April, to reclaim our food systems that are being increasingly occupied by transnational capital. It is also happening few months before LVC convenes its 6th International Conference that will be held in June, in Jakarta Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Farmers organizations will occupy the Ministry for Agriculture in Dominican Republic, to oppose the mining industry and will march and occupy land in Bahia, Brazil, as well as organize a public demonstration in Portugal. In Mozambique, the National Union of Farmers, UNAC, is organizing a conference on land and seeds in Mozambique. In Europe, the European Coordination of Via Campesina (ECVC) is joining this celebration and organizing, a European conference, open to the public, on 17th April, in the framework of its General Assembly. The event is co-organized by its Spanish member COAG (from the Canary Islands) and will be held in Fuerteventura.<\/p>\n<p>According to Chavannes Jean-Baptiste, member of the coordination committee of La Via Campesina and representative of the Caribbean region, \u201cland grabbing is a criminal act against peasants and indigenous peoples in the whole world. \u00a0In Haiti, we consider it to be a new kind of colonization. On the 17th of April 2013, all farmers\u2019 organizations will mobilize right across the planet to say NO to this scourge.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>17th April: International Day of Peasants\u2019 Struggles Small-scale farmers and their allies are celebrating the International Day of Peasant&rsquo;s Struggle today, 17th of April 2013, organizing hundreds of actions and demonstrations all over the globe.
