A big thanks to David Reid of the Eco Society for inviting me to be part of the event last Saturday Finding Common Ground Around Sustainability and Social Justice. The main presenter was Leocadia Juracán, a Mayan farmer and coordinator of the Campesina Committee of the Altiplano in Guatamala. He shared with us the struggle for social justice as farmers in Guatemala face pressures from mega-development projects such as hydro-electric dams and the extraction industry. I admire Leocadias courage and thank him for the message of hope he provided. Visit website below for more information. As always it was a pleasure to have Colleen Ross, NFU activist and organic farmer in Grand Forks, sharing with us her experiences in theVia Campesina movement. (Colleen and I have been working on many issues together since we first met in Ottawa in 2008) For more information visit:
