Solidaridad internacionalista y la necesidad de un Tratado Vinculante
Conoce a las comunidades en Porto Alegre, Brasil, que están luchando contra la empresa transnacional alemana Fraport, para no perder sus hogares.

La solidaridad internacionalista nos da la fuerza para luchar contra la injusticia.

Las comunidades luchan contra el poder empresarial del agronegocio en El Salvador
En El Salvador, empresas del agronegocio como Bayer-Monsanto, promueven el uso indiscriminado de agrotóxicos, ocasionando graves impactos ambientales y sociales en las comunidades rurales, afectando la salud de los pueblos. Es urgente normas vinculantes que obliguen a las grandes empresas a rendir cuentas y sean responsables de los impactos devastadores del agronegocio a nivel mundial. Demandamos que los gobiernos apoyen el Tratado vinculante de la ONU sobre empresas transnacionales y derechos humanos.

Stop ISDS – The French oil company Total is putting profits before people and nature in Uganda
The French multinational company Total wants to drill for oil in the beautiful lakes and national parks of Uganda. This dirty oil industry would evict thousands from their lands and threaten people’s livelihoods.

It is time to stop corporate destruction and bad investment deals.
