A thread on Yukpa Territories!
1/4: In 2017, the Colombian Constitutional Court passed Sentence T-713 declaring that the Colombian Government must recognise the Yukpa's rights to their ancestral territory. Watch this video to hear directly from the Yukpa Communities! 👇
3/4: One of the principal demands of the Yukpa Authorities is for the recognition of their ancestral territory in the Serranía del Perija. These sacred lands have been stewarded by this community and must be respected through the consulted closure of the mining operations.
✊ Solidarity Action! ✊
We entered Glencore's London HQ and challenged their genocidal mega-mining. This action was done in solidarity with the Yukpa and Wayuu People, who are on the frontlines of Glencore's extractivism!
