EVENTS COMING UP


For those who like to attend large activist events here is a listing of some of the international events coming up.
April 12 to 18 is the III Feria International del Agua organized to commemorate and honor the people of Cochabamba heroic struggle to recuperate water as a common good. To see all the activities planned click here.

April 19, 20, 21 and 22nd is the government organized World People's Conference on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth which promises to gather 5,000 activists from around the world to debate climate change issues.
