“This manifesto is our roadmap in this decisive moment, the pulse of collective action, a call for profound systemic transformation.” With these words, La Via Campesina calls for people to read the demands they set forth in the “Via Campesina Manifesto for COP30” and, even more importantly, for readers to turn these demands into coordinated actions. On the eve of the COP30, La Via Campesina, a social movement of more than 200 million peasants and rural, coastal and urban communities, issued an urgent and radical call: “The time for false promises and market solutions must end.” The document is divided into three parts: the structural causes of the crisis, the movement's demands, and the solutions it proposes. La Via Campesina emphasizes that this manifesto is a call for collective action. To respond to this invitation, read the full document at the following link (available in Spanish, English and French).
