We are the communities experiencing ecological and distributive conflicts firsthand and in our local communities. We are those who have contributed least to the ecological crisis but are suffering its effects the most.

In the silence of politics, faced with the absence of adequate and coherent proposals from those who define themselves as alternatives to government policies, only citizen participation in political decisions and the organization of collective behavior can change things. In a wounded and low-intensity democracy like ours, grassroots action is needed, bringing together communities affected by worsening ecological and social conditions, environmental and social justice movements, workers, and local institutions where possible. This will achieve the critical mass needed to have an impact and bring proposals and alternatives for a better life to public attention.

Addressing these issues and changing political priorities is possible through initiatives, mobilizations, and proposals capable of mobilizing participation, restoring voice and representation to the commitment of citizens and environmental and social justice movements.
