12/10 Neo colonialism and indigenous resist
mapundial - 11.10.2006 13:17

Neo colonialism and indigenous resistance in Latin America

The 12th of October is celebrated in many countries in the Americas to commemorate the ‘discovery’ of the New World by Christopher Colombus in 1492. However, for indigenous people in this continent this date has been a historical turning point that marks the beginning of their colonization and suppression.

514 years after the beginning of colonization, indigenous people still have to face exploitation, discrimination and repression. Their human rights are often violated by national and international actors. Transnational corporations expell them from their territories and exploit their natural resources. The 12 Oktober Committee is a platform of social, cultural and political organizations based in the Netherlands which aims to conmemorate the day when Columbus discovered the Americas in a different way and to raise awareness in Dutch society about the backside of globalisation. Therefore we organize a cultural and informative evening about the resistance of indigenous groups in Latin America as well as the current involvement of transnational corporations in this region.

demo tegen proctor and gamble 
markus - 12.10.2006 16:05

Zojuist heeft het 12 oktober comite een demo gehouden in de leidsestraat om mensen te informeren over een product van het bedrijf met de bezetting van land in brazilie wat toebehoort aan de guarani en tupinikim indianen.

er werden flyers uitgedeelt en stoffen zakdoekjes met de tekst 'steek je neus niet in vieze zaken', omdat het product van p & g, tempo, wordt gemaakt van eucalyptusbomen die gekweekt worden op de gestolen gebieden.

Een poging om het bedrijf ETOS, die zich sterk maken voor producten die duurzaam en verantwoord geproduceert worden, een brief met vragen te overhandigen mislukte enigszins omdat de veranwoordelijke in het filiaal zich overdondert en bedreigt voelde door camera aanwezigheid en doorverwees naar het hoofdkantoor van ETOS.

Vanavond om kwart voor zeven begint het programma in De Badcuyp in de eerste sweelinckstraat 10 in Amsterdam.
