DOTL 2024: Assert our right to land, exercise the right to resist! Resist corporate landgrabs and imperialist aggression!

Day of the Landless 2024

DOTL 2024: Assert our right to land, exercise the right to resist!  Resist corporate landgrabs and imperialist aggression!
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The worsening food crisis is generating greater resistance to defending the right to land. Rural people across the world are resisting imperialism – the world’s biggest landgrabber.

Neoliberal policies enabling landgrabs, such as those promoted by the upcoming WB Land Conference in May, are facing backlash worldwide. Imperialist wars and state repression are also defied, as we have seen in the continuing Palestinian resistance and the growing global solidarity against the US-Israel genocidal war. The landless are standing their ground to challenge unjust land laws and urge for genuine agrarian reform through land occupations.

Asserting our right to land is exercising our right to resist, and we do so in all its forms to break the chains of imperialism – including its neoliberal reforms and aggression – that bleed our land and food systems dry of profit and blood.

As such, we are marking this year’s Day of the Landless with the call “Assert our right to land, exercise our right to resist!”

The Day of the Landless was originally coined by the Asian Peasant Coalition in 2015, marking its founding anniversary. The People’s Coalition on Food Sovereignty has adopted DOTL in 2018 as an annual global action to give spotlight on the issue of global landlessness and highlight the land struggles of rural peoples in the Global South.

WAYS TO PARTICIPATE

 

This year’s DOTL campaign is designed to extend until May, in time for the World Bank Land Conference (13-17 May 2024) and Palestine’s Day of Return (15 May). May is also the ILPS Global Month of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.

 

🪧JOIN THE GLOBAL DAYS OF ACTION. Express our assertion for people’s right to land and solidarity with the landless people worldwide on-ground and online on the following dates:

  • March 29: Day of the Landless – Organize decentralized mass actions/mobilizations at the community and/or country level to highlight different land struggles of rural people across the globe.
  • March 30: Palestine Land Day – Show our global solidarity for Palestine, giving emphasis to their resistance, through local actions and social media postings.
  • April 22: Earth Day – Join the global action and protest against corporate-led climate solutions. Highlight how local land struggles promote genuine and people-led sustainability.
  • May 1: International Workers’ Day – Join the May Day rallies and spotlight the plight and demands of agricultural workers.
  • May 13: Speakout for the Landless – Reject the upcoming WB Land Conference and its false solutions through local mass action/mobilizations. Join the hybrid speakout.
  • May 15: Palestinian Day of Return – Hold solidarity actions on-ground and online. Echo the call to recognize the Palestinian right of return.

Hold community-level/local buildup actions particularly in the week leading to the global days of action.

 

🗣️PARTICIPATE IN LANDLESS VOICES, a series of consultative forums where rural peoples organizations can share about their land issues and struggles amid the global food crisis. The outcomes of the forum series will be shared in the May 13 Speakout of the Landless and will be used in the creation of the Rural People’s Agenda as part of the community consultations of the Global People’s Caravan for Food, Land, and Climate Justice.

 

Thematic sessions:

  • Land struggles vs imperialist-backed wars, aggression, and occupation (March 21)
  • Land struggles vs international finance institutions (April 12)
  • Land and agricultural workers (April 25)
  • Land and resistance (May 6)

💡SIGN UP IN OUR WEBINARS, which aim to raise the people’s political understanding of how imperialism and its agents are generating global landlessness and its link with local land struggles, and the merit of people’s resistance and solidarity in its various forms in fighting for people’s right to land and food sovereignty.
