Support Abya Yala!
ABYA YALA in the Kuna Indian language means Continents of Life, their name for the Americas. Over the past 500 years, for Indigenous Peoples, the landscape has resembled Continents of Death.Even today, more than 40 Indigenous Nations of Meso and South America currently face extinction. We all now know that the long-term impacts of environmental destruction, concentration of wealth and power in fewer hands, and the genocide of traditional cultures will affect all of us.
In response, Indigenous Peoples have been developing strategies of resistance and self-development initiatives. Yet, we know that to be successful, this struggle must be a collective one.
We ask you to join us. Invest in Abya Yala Fund's work to revitalize our traditions and restore the planet. The living traditions of Indigenous Peoples hold promise for all of us, to help guide us toward a world of justice in harmony with itself. Please donate today and support the Indigenous People of Abya Yala as they restore our Continents of Life. And know that you are investing in a better world for them, for you and for generations to come.
YES, I wish to join in your efforts to promote Indigenous self-development and human rights, and to rebuild our Continents of Life.
