A Minga for Lucha Indigena and Hugo Blanco

We have initiated a process, which we expect to share as a Minga. When we say Minga we refer to the ancestral Andean indigenous tradition where communities are convened to achieve a common goal.

 

To mention Hugo Blanco and “Lucha Indígena” (Indigenous Struggle) refers to peoples, territories, and communities of many communities. The paper “Lucha Indígena”, constitutes a global heritage of people’s in resistance and a fertile seed for the future. Increasing costs risk the disappearance of Lucha Indígena. It is indeed miraculous that it keeps coming out, having reached its 96th monthly issue.

We went through a basic budget with Hugo. At a minimum, they require $1600 USD a month to rent space in Lima and to print booklets. We are therefore opening a “voluntary subscription” to guarantee its continuity.

 

Attached below, please find the letter that calls for a “Minga for Lucha Indígena”. Based on your possibilities, we invite you to join this effort and to invite others to do as much. Besides English and Spanish, the attached letter is being translated to French, German, Catalonian, Swedish, Italian and Portuguese. In fact, a group of activists and grassroots workers in Toronto, through small savings and a garage sale, gathered the initial 1000 CAD, with which Hugo informs us, they have already rented a place where they will sell agricultural products from Peruvian peasant organizations. At this new place, they are offering the printed journal as well as a booklet on Peru’s first Agrarian Reform in which Hugo was involved as a leader and inspiration.
