We need a different kind of trade. Trade that puts people before profits. That upholds Indigenous rights, protects human rights and the environment, and supports a just energy transition that benefits workers and communities—not corporations. That's the trade we're fighting for. 🧵

A crystal clear demonstration that Canadian Aris Mining is negatively impacting the water in the Santurban Paramo in Colombia. And yet another example of the critically important work of water and environmental defenders!

Remember, PM Carney has promised to impose a massive expansion of "critical minerals" mining for armaments manufacturing/profiteering in order to fulfil his commitment to NATO's astonishing new 5%-of-GDP arms spending targets. But he can't afford to fund housing, health care, or education.
