CALL TO ACTION
Dear Friends and Allies of the NATIONAL MINGA OF POPULAR AND INDIGENOUS RESISTANCE!!
Right now the MINGA is on its way to Bogotá. Other social movements have joined in and are now meeting together to define the points of a common platform.
On Friday 21 November a great march in Bogotá is planned, ending in the Plaza de Bolívar, where we will await the President, to continue with the diálogue we started in la María.
Therefore, we are asking that in your respective countries you do events in solidarity with the MINGA, on 21 November, so that together we create a Joint act of resistance at worldwide level. In particular, we ask you to make tickets outsider the Colombian Embassy in your countries, and hand over letters of solidarity with the MINGA. At the same time we want you to write to your governments reiterating the necessity of real talks between the Colombian Government and the MINGA, and expressing concern for the security of the leaders of the MINGA.
For the meeting in Plaza de Bolivar this Friday, we ask you to write letters or solidarity pronouncements with the MINGA from your organisations or solidarity groups , that can be read out at the event…
A thousand thanks

No escape to sleep from the political and planning meetings
For the defence of our rights - autonomy, culture, identity
Indigenous guards been working hard keeping the spaces safe
Welcomed to the National University by students, workers and lecturers
My feet are knackered and I only walked for one day. Many of the thousands of indigenous have been walking since the 12th October from the south of Colombia to the Bogota.
The indigenous have been preparing this Minga for a year. The Minga is a space, a process, a permanent assembly, for everyone where diverse sectors are coming together and demanding not just change for them (eg indigenous) but change for everyone (workers, women, afrodescendents).
What would a Minga look like in the UK?
