The Assembly of the Indigenous Peoples of the Isthmus in Defense of Land and Territory (APIIDTT) announced on October 12, that the Mesoamerican Caravan for Climate and Life began its journey from Mexico to Brazil for the United Nations COP30 climate summit that begins on November 10.
The APIIDTT further notes: “We call on civil society throughout the region and the world to remain attentive to the route of this caravan. …We call on human rights organizations to observe, denounce and document the abuses and violations we face at the border crossing and in every community criminalized for defending life.”
Peace Brigades International-Canada has responded to that call and is attentive to the Mesoamerican Caravan’s journey.
On October 18, the APIIDTT posted on social media a video highlighting: “Mesoamerican Caravan for Climate and Life in HONDURAS Utopia Center, Esperanza, Honduras Lenca Territory of COPINH Conversation of Resistance.”
