i think that is a good idea pennsif. let us know possible times/dates, etc. it's obviously a longstanding issue and there are many such people who have been killed. i think it'd be reasonable to focus in on this specific issue as an example of a larger whole than let the subject get too big! curious to hear your thoughts.
I am glad you dedicated time to talk about Mother Earth on Earth Day and called on people of the Earth to take action to care for the planet. Great post!
This information is heartbreaking; devastating; and so important. I deeply appreciate your efforts to use your American privy to amplify the voices of our indigenous sisters and brothers. Thank you for taking the time to spread awareness. You actions are inspiring. Re-steemed on my @radicalunicorn page and FB. Happy Earth Day 🌎
An extraordinary post. The illustrations are beautiful. I was talking about the commodification of creatures causing their extinction in my piece today but no way was it as powerful as this. It's extraordinary that this can be allowed to happen and that protest is powerfully silenced. In Australia, Aboriginal communities are divided about whether it brings benefits in the form of much needed money that can help the community or whether it will destroy the very land that is their dreaming, their entire culture. There is no way we've had the extent of destruction that the Amazon people have suffered and I'm not convinced that the Australian people will let them, but I'm fairly naive I think.
Many of these protectors of our earth are brown and live in countries far removed from our cozy suburbs, malls, megachurches and stock markets, yet our lives, consumption, "wants and needs" and ideologies directly effect their lives. It is our demands on the environment which feed the exploitation of these communities and this is our problem as well as theirs.
Well said. We too often ignore our responsibility when we consume without thinking of the repurcussions.
thank you so much for bringing awareness to this, it really is very sad to hear about Olivia Arévalo Lomas, the amount of injustice and cruelty in the world is huge at the moment, it is important that it does not go unnoticed. We really do need to add our voices to those who otherwise would not be heard xx
Thank you beautiful siSTAR! 🌎💜☀️
thanks for your support <3!
You're welcome!
This is so bad. Thank you for this information.
I wonder if we could make a radio show on this to spread the news of the situation wider...?

Omg that's terrible! Those people will pay when they die. Only God knows what will happen to them bad people if they do not change for the better.
I hope someone will continue to uphold what she stood for. Someone who is as brave as her, may she rest in peace.
Thanks for sharing this to everyone.
