ESCR-Net member Abahlali baseMjondolo, in a press statement, has condemned AfriForum’s reckless and racist actions in inciting the white right in the United States against South Africa. These actions have led to a potentially devastating Executive Order by Donald Trump, threatening economic sanctions and cuts to vital health programs. The movement calls for a broad united front to resist right-wing attacks and defend the rights of the poor.

From September 16 to 20, we gathered more than 100 of our members to develop strategies for a future rooted in justice, dignity, and care for people and the planet.

As a network of over 300 social movements, Indigenous Peoples, and human rights organizations from across 76 countries, ESCR-Net – International Network for Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights, members are united in our solidarity with our fellow member the Council of Popular and Indigenous Organizations of Honduras (COPINH). We affirm our unwavering demand for justice in the tragic murder of our dear friend and comrade Berta Cáceres. Berta fearlessly defended the rights of her community, of the Lenca people and other Indigenous Peoples, in their struggles for self-determination.
