International Day of Farmers' Struggle 17 April
Via Campesina
February 26, 2004 - During the Ministerial Conference in Cancun, peasants, indigenous, youth and other sectors of civil society organized against neo-liberal policies and the WTO. Together these groups were able to stop the WTO through strong actions in Cancun and other parts of the world. Through mobilization and organizing these groups convinced some governments to resist neo-liberal policies and to stop destructive international negotiations that provoke disintegration, increase poverty and bring misery to rural areas. During the World Social Forum and the International Peasant Forum held in Mumbai, India, in January of this year strategies and plans of action were drafted with social movements in resistence and struggle against neo-liberal policies. The International Day of Peasant Struggle is an important part of this common agenda, and we call everybody, worldwide, to action on this day.
