Over the past two years in France, The Uprisings of the Earth have given a new lease of life to the ecological struggles by building a multi-faceted movement made up of farmers’ unions, ecological organisations, activists and people of all ages and from all walks of life. This has included site blockades, mass demonstrations, land occupations, law suits, and ’disarming’ criminal industries like the multinational Lafarge... Participants in TheEarths Uprisings adopts a diversity of tactics and takes the lead from local territorial struggles to build livable worlds and firmly halt land and water grabs by agribusiness, the concreting over of our soils, the ecocidal ravages of the chemical industry and the destruction of life.

The French government, which has imposed an anti-social pension reform by force, is now trying to dissolve this growing movement, which has already begun to forge links across Europe and beyond.

From France to Uganda, Colombia to Chiapas, the UK to Brazil, Lebanon to India or Rojava, the resistance from ecological and social movements and the worlds they are building, are provoking a violent authoritarian response, destroying lives in the name of power and profit. This authoritarian, patriarchal and neo-colonial headlong rush is leading us towards a deadly future of climate chaos, militarisation, pandemics, technological control and waves of mass displacement.

In the eyes of the French government, this repression and dissolution should mark a halt to the rise of a logical revolt to reclaim our lives, our lands and the commons. And what if this dissolution became, in spite of itself, a call to strengthen a great global resistance movement ? A call to make our solidarity resonate across borders, to breathe life into the many uprisings around the world. An invitation to build new global alliances ’from below’, on the scale of our bodies and our territories, in defence of land and life against the capitalist and imperialist predations of nation states and multinationals.

Together, in the days and weeks ahead, we are calling for more acts of solidarity, to show that what is growing everywhere cannot be dissolved ! We propose to continue making the Uprisings of the Earth visible in public space in our territories around the world : in front of social centres, through inscriptions on walls, with banners and parties, rallies and direct actions, and any other actions adapted to our contexts.

For the global uprisings of the earth, and in solidarity with all those around the world who face repression, we, collectives of struggles and organisations from different countries, are calling for solidarity on Wednesday 28 June (or in the days that follow, depending on the context) in a variety of ways. Dozens of rallies against criminalisation will be held across France, Austria, Belgium, Germany, Catalonia... and other territories will follow !

You can’t dissolve an uprising !
