To globalize the struggle against injustice and neoliberalism worldwide, La Via Campesina has two important dates:
1. 17th of April: The international peasant struggle day People
all around the world will commemorate the killing of 19 peasants
struggling for land reform in Eldorado dos Carajas (Brazil) on April
17, 1996.
2. 1
0th of September: The international struggle day against
WTO.
On that date in 2003, Mr. Lee Kyun Hae, a Korean peasant, stabbed
himself to death during a massive protest against the WTO in Cancun,
Mexico. He was holding a banner saying “WTO kills farmers”.
We are the seeds - via campesina song
We are the seeds that take root
We are trees that bear fruit
We are the shaking of the ground
As we tear this fortress down.
