incomes fall, but are also against the exploitation of the natural environment and extraction of resources that has devastated indigenous people&#8217;s across Ecuador, the entire continent and the world.\u00a0 The demands include opposition to privatisation of public services and the need for investment in education and health.<\/p>\n<p>The petition can be found on the ipetitions website (link below) and can also be signed on a Google form.\u00a0 ipetitions will display the total global signatories, but if you also fill in the form to share your details we&#8217;ll be able to publicise your designation and area of activity.\u00a0 The list below will therefore extend.\u00a0 We call on all activists in the workers and climate justice movement to both sign and promote the petition on social media and through your organisations.\u00a0 The world needs to support the movement of indigenous peoples, workers and environmental activists in Ecuador in their hour of need.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>LATEST EVENTS from our correspondents on the ground &#8211;

It began with an important victory for the indigenous-led movement. Thousands of mainly indigenous protesters managed to reoccupy, entirely peacefully, the main cultural centre in Quito, the Casa de Cultura. This is where the indigenous movement has traditionally found shelter when it mobilises in the capital. It was their centre of operations during the uprising of October 2019. However, as part of its state of emergency, the government had sent the army and police to seal off the building and its grounds. This made it much more difficult this time for the indigenous contingents arriving in Quito to find shelter and have a coordinated logistical and symbolic centre. They had been more spread out around various university campuses that had partially allowed them in. Some were left sleeping out in the cold.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that on Thursday, faced with a huge swell of protesters outside, the security forces simply let them in, was interpreted as a possible, significant concession by the government. A massive and euphoric rally of indigenous and other protesters took place in the main auditorium, addressed, in particular, by Leonidas Iza, the undisputed, central leader of the strike. There was talk of more concessions and the possibility of meaningful talks, with results, as the movement has been putting it, with the government.<\/p>\n<p>However, a little later, part of the movement, led by indigenous women, began to march from the House of Culture to the National Assembly, to put pressure on them. There have been so-far unsuccessful attempts there to revoke the president\u2019s decrees of a state of emergency. This march was met with very severe repression from the police and army, using tear gas, water cannon and live, buckshot, ammunition. At least one young man died after receiving multiple pellet shots in his chest and neck. As night fell, groups of police on motorbikes also attacked at least one of the humanitarian locations where people from the local community were distributing food to indingenous protesters. In one case the police fired pistols at the group as they ate, wounding at least one of them. There are reports of another death as well, taking the total so far to at least four.<\/p>\n<p>Another worrying development is that sections of the middle-class, racist right in Quito have begun to mobilise against the protests. There are reports of groups of white-shirted young man driving around and abusing isolated individuals or vulnerable groups of indigenous protesters, shouting racist abuse at the \u201cf****** indians\u201d and telling them to go home. It is not clear if there have been physical attacks, but some of these vigilantes seem to be carrying guns. The right also mobilised a march of a few thousand towards the area where the protesters are concentrated, but they didn\u2019t get very far and soon turned back to their base in the affluent neighbourhoods of north-central Quito.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Thank you for your support.<\/p>\n<p>ecosocialist.scot<\/p>\n<h3>Link to Petition: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipetitions.com\/petition\/stop-the-repression-in-ecuador\">https:\/\/www.ipetitions.com\/petition\/stop-the-repression-in-ecuador<\/a><\/h3>\n<h3>Send us your details if you sign: <a href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/jFzJ5T7a4VTDa2VL9\">https:\/\/forms.gle\/jFzJ5T7a4VTDa2VL9<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>______________________________<\/p>\n<p>Text of petition and signatories (English\/Spanish)<\/p>\n<h1>Stop the repression in Ecuador, Solidarity with the Indigenous-led strike! \/ Alto a la represi\u00f3n en Ecuador, Solidaridad con el paro Ind\u00edgena<\/h1>\n<p>To also have your name publicly associated with this petition, please complete the form here: <a href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/jFzJ5T7a4VTDa2VL9\">https:\/\/forms.gle\/jFzJ5T7a4VTDa2VL9<\/a> This petition was initially organised by ecosocialist.scot\u00a0 \/ Para que su nombre tambi\u00e9n se asocie p\u00fablicamente con esta petici\u00f3n, complete el formulario aqu\u00ed: <a href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/jFzJ5T7a4VTDa2VL9\">https:\/\/forms.gle\/jFzJ5T7a4VTDa2VL9<\/a> Esta petici\u00f3n fue organizada inicialmente por <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ecosocialist.scot\/\">ecosocialist.scot<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>STOP THE REPRESSION IN ECUADOR, SOLIDARITY WITH THE INDIGENOUS-LED STRIKE!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The repression against the nationwide strike called by the indigenous movement in Ecuador has only increased since President Guillermo Lasso first declared a state of emergency and a curfew on Friday, 17 June. The police and army have been using brutal force, tear gas, stun grenades, pellet shot, to stop thousands of peaceful indigenous protesters from entering the capital, Quito. At least one protester has died, three are reported to be in a critical condition, dozens more have been wounded or arrested. The army and police have sealed off the House of Culture and several university campuses in an attempt to deny the indigenous protesters their traditional places of shelter in the capital. An immense citizen effort is underway, from students, women\u2019s groups, neighbourhood organisations and the population in general, to collect food, blankets and basic provisions for the protesters who have made it into Quito.<\/p>\n<p>Massive mobilisations and road blocks continue in indigenous territories across Ecuador. The local Governor\u2019s offices have been occupied in at least three provinces.<\/p>\n<p>Secondary school and university students, teachers, health workers, trade unionists, neighbourhood organisations and the feminist movement are mobilising in towns and cities.<\/p>\n<p>Bus drivers, taxi drivers and truckers have either promised stoppages or already joined in the road blocks.<\/p>\n<p>We the undersigned, demand an immediate end to the violent repression of peaceful protesters in Ecuador. We call on President Lasso and the government of Ecuador to lift the state of emergency, release those still in detention and drop all charges against the movement\u2019s best known leader, Leonidas Iza, President of Conaie, who was illegally detained on 14 June and released 24 hours later, but who still faces charges that carry a possible prison sentence of 1-3 years.<\/p>\n<p>In place of a military response, we urge President Lasso to engage in serious negotiations with the indigenous movement and other social movements, to address their just demands.<\/p>\n<p>These include the 10 points put forward by Conaie \u2013 including fair prices for agricultural products; freezing of fuel prices because this generates price increases; respect for the collective rights of indigenous peoples and nationalities; a budget for health and education; an end to the voracious extractivism in indigenous territories; stop speculation and rising prices of basic food basket items; stop the privatisation of strategic sectors; public policies to curb the wave of violence.<\/p>\n<p>These have since been enriched by other social movements incorporating their own demands, for example for public polices to curb gender violence and femicide.<\/p>\n<p>The victory of Gustavo Petro and Francia Marquez in the presidential elections in neighbouring Colombia, show that the people of the region want to turn the page on decades of neoliberal economic policies that only generate poverty, violence, racial exclusion and the destruction of mother earth. We stand in solidarity with all their struggles and with the indigenous-led strike in Ecuador.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>ALTO A LA REPRESI\u00d3N EN ECUADOR, SOLIDARIDAD CON EL PARO IND\u00cdGENA<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;La represi\u00f3n contra el paro nacional convocado por el movimiento ind\u00edgena en Ecuador no ha hecho m\u00e1s que aumentar desde que el presidente Guillermo Lasso declar\u00f3 el estado de excepci\u00f3n y el toque de queda el viernes 17 de junio. La polic\u00eda y el ej\u00e9rcito han utilizado una fuerza brutal, gases lacrim\u00f3genos, granadas de aturdimiento y perdigones, para impedir que miles de manifestantes ind\u00edgenas pac\u00edficos entren en la capital, Quito. Al menos un manifestante ha muerto, tres se encuentran en estado cr\u00edtico y docenas m\u00e1s han sido heridos o detenidos. El ej\u00e9rcito y la polic\u00eda han acordonado la Casa de la Cultura y varios campus universitarios en un intento de negar a los manifestantes ind\u00edgenas sus lugares tradicionales de refugio en la capital. Est\u00e1 en marcha un inmenso esfuerzo ciudadano, por parte de estudiantes, grupos de mujeres, organizaciones vecinales y la poblaci\u00f3n en general, para recoger alimentos, mantas y provisiones b\u00e1sicas para los manifestantes que han conseguido entrar en Quito.<\/p>\n<p>Contin\u00faan las movilizaciones masivas y los bloqueos de carreteras en los territorios ind\u00edgenas de todo Ecuador. Las gobernaciones locales han sido ocupadas en al menos tres provincias.<\/p>\n<p>Estudiantes de secundaria y universitarios, profesores, personal sanitario, sindicalistas, organizaciones vecinales y el movimiento feminista se movilizan en pueblos y ciudades.<\/p>\n<p>Los conductores de autobuses, taxistas y camioneros han prometido paros o ya se han sumado a los cortes de carretera.<\/p>\n<p>Nosotros, los abajo firmantes, exigimos el cese inmediato de la represi\u00f3n violenta de los manifestantes pac\u00edficos en Ecuador. Pedimos al presidente Lasso y al gobierno de Ecuador que levanten el estado de excepci\u00f3n, liberen a los que a\u00fan est\u00e1n detenidos y retiren todos los cargos contra el l\u00edder m\u00e1s conocido del movimiento, Leonidas Iza, presidente de la Conaie, que fue detenido ilegalmente el 14 de junio y liberado 24 horas despu\u00e9s, pero que a\u00fan se enfrenta a cargos que conllevan una posible condena de prisi\u00f3n de 1 a 3 a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n<p>En lugar de una respuesta militar, instamos al presidente Lasso a entablar negociaciones serias con el movimiento ind\u00edgena y otros movimientos sociales, para atender sus justas demandas.<\/p>\n<p>Entre ellas se encuentran los 10 puntos planteados por la Conaie, entre ellos, precios justos para los productos agropecuarios; congelaci\u00f3n de los precios de los combustibles porque esto genera aumentos de precios; respeto a los derechos colectivos de los pueblos y nacionalidades ind\u00edgenas; presupuesto para la salud y la educaci\u00f3n; fin del extractivismo voraz en los territorios ind\u00edgenas; freno a la especulaci\u00f3n y al aumento de los precios de los productos de la canasta b\u00e1sica; freno a la privatizaci\u00f3n de los sectores estrat\u00e9gicos; pol\u00edticas p\u00fablicas para frenar la ola de violencia.<\/p>\n<p>Desde entonces se han enriquecido con otros movimientos sociales que han incorporado sus propias demandas, por ejemplo, pol\u00edticas p\u00fablicas para frenar la violencia de g\u00e9nero y el feminicidio.<\/p>\n<p>La victoria de Gustavo Petro y Francia M\u00e1rquez en las elecciones presidenciales de la vecina Colombia, demuestran que los pueblos de la regi\u00f3n quieren darle vuelta a la p\u00e1gina de d\u00e9cadas de pol\u00edticas econ\u00f3micas neoliberales que s\u00f3lo generan pobreza, violencia, exclusi\u00f3n racial y destrucci\u00f3n de la madre tierra.
