Neydi Juracán, National Coordinator of the Campesino Committee of the Highlands (CCDA) in Guatemala, will be in British Columbia for a three-week tour across the province. Neydi is a young Kakchiquel Maya woman and the National Coordinator of Guatemala's Campesino Committee of the Highlands (CCDA), which represents over 100,000 campesino (small farming) families.
The CCDA is a major force in Guatemala's Indigenous-led struggle for land reform, food sovereignty, and cultural survival and has built solidarity-based partnerships with peoples and organizations around the world. This event will speak to food knowledge keepers, international solidarity activists, student activists, community organizers, cultivators of international cooperation, those interested in joining the cross-border struggle for social, economic, and environmental justice, and those who are curious and open to learning.
