It couldn't be clearer. The Xinka people led a robust, seven year consultation process, mandated by the court, to decide whether they wanted Pan America's silver mine in Guatemala. They decided they do not. It's time for the company and the Canadian & Guatemalan gov'ts to respect their decision.

"Vinimos a decirle a Canadá que el pueblo xinka ha decidido que no quiere que continúe la empresa minera en nuestro territorio y pedimos el cierre definitivo", dijo Marisol Guerra, una de las dos delegadas xinkas de paso por Canadá.

The Xinka People demand that Pan American Silver permanently close the Escobal mine. It threatens their environment, water, language, culture, and territory. Tell the CEO of Pan American Silver to respect their decision. 🔗 bit.ly/xinkapeoples...

Great piece by @fordfoundation.org on SAGE grantee @4workerrights.bsky.social about its strategy of securing binding agreements with garment brands to improve labor rights at the factories that supply their clothes! www.fordfoundation.org/news-and-sto...

🌏✊ In Kathmandu, community health workers & their unions from across South Asia united for recognition, rights & dignity. CHWs deserve fair pay, protections & respect. Thanks @sagefundrights.bsky.social for supporting workers rights! #Care4Carers #UnionStrong uniglobalunion.org/news/chws-ne...

Great outcome for the Indigenous communities in Peru and corporate accountability! This case is emblematic of our extractive economy which allows corporations to harm people, the environment and avoid taxes. Congratulations to the communities and their allies!

A hopeful article about the leadership of Indigenous women, defending territories, expanding women's livelihoods, and showing the path forward.

It's time to face the hard truth: while we, civil society, call for change, often our calls are for incremental tweaks to the system, which can actually reinforce it. And make us, at times, part of the problem. But we can do more, and better. Full piece: www.somo.nl/if-we-want-r...

How can 4 billionaires hold more wealth than 750 million people? A rigged system, tax injustice, and declining public investments are fueling a silent crisis across the continent. Find out more: www.oxfam.org/en/press-rel...

Mozambique LNG is a known site of environmental and human rights violations – and the US Export-Import Bank (EXIM) approved billions of tax dollars to fund this project without proper environmental review, economic assessments, or public input. We're taking them to court.

Having supported communities harmed by Socfin, the investigation results are shocking but not surprising. What is surprising is that Socfin is going to determine if and how it will remedy the violations it has caused without input or oversight by the communities harmed.

#BetterThisTime. Corporate accountability is key to ensuring the transition is just. We can do better this time. Thanks @earthworks.bsky.social for the important message. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wy7I...

Congratulations to the M10, @bothends.bsky.social and @somoamsterdam.bsky.social! 11 years after the communities filed a complaint, finally some remedy and an acknowledgement from the banks that they had not effectively responded to the concerns they raised from the start.

Complaint mechanisms can be used to secure creative outcomes for communities suffering corporate-related climate & human rights impacts. SAGE grantee ‪@humanrightshrlc.bsky.social‬ & communities in Bougainville, PNG filed a complaint against Rio Tinto for the impacts of a copper mine it abandoned.

CSOs can support public prosecutors to hold corporations accountable for climate impacts by documenting and providing evidence of harm. @redesjdh.bsky.social, a SAGE grantee, provided evidence in a case that led to the conviction of a land grabber for burning 1,500 hectares of the Brazilian Cerrado.

Litigation: To ensure that the transition is just, SAGE grantees, ProDESC and ‪@ecchr.bsky.social‬, sued a French energy company for violating Indigenous rights by developing a wind farm on their territory in Oaxaca, Mexico, without their consent. #CorporateAccountability #ClimateJustice

Successful climate litigation targeting major emitters often relies on corporate research. Since 2015, SAGE has helped cultivate a powerful set of investment mapping and supply chain methodologies, opening up new leverage points. Featured in SAGE's report...

Local documentation of impacts is key in building successful legal strategies to hold corporations accountable. Many claims against GHG emitters are grounded in the immediate human rights impacts to communities and workers. Featured in SAGE's new report (www.sagefundrights.org/climate-stra...) 🧵

SAGE is excited to share a new report highlighting the successful legal strategies developed by SAGE grantees that are gaining ground in holding corporations accountable for their harmful climate and human rights impacts: www.sagefundrights.org/climate-stra... #CorporateAccountability

SAGE is pleased to be highlighted in Swedwatch's new report on the funding needed to support worker and community driven due diligence. The people who are most affected by corporate actions and decisions are the best ones to monitor and enforce due diligence laws. swedwatch.org/themes/fundi...

New from RAID/CAJJ: “There is no excuse for Congolese mine workers to be living in poverty or coughing up blood in unsafe mines.

Major win for Indigenous rights & climate justice! In a landmark ruling, a Brazilian federal court halted a carbon offset project on the Ka’apor Indigenous land because it lacked FPIC. ✊ Climate justice is not possible without Indigenous rights! Read full story: www.somo.nl/a-major-lega...

US Pension Fund TIAA Linked to Brutal Land Grabs and E​victions of Farmers in Brazil. New @fian-international.bsky.social report shows the 10 largest transnational landowners, including TIAA, control land larger than Japan, causing human rights abuses, inequalities, and environmental destruction.

During this time of uncertainty, we're seeing many funders freezing their philanthropic giving. Instead, we and @sagefundrights.bsky.social are calling on funders to act with courage over fear, and create a more united front against corporate power and abuse.

Binding agreements to end GBVH in garment factories protect workers, but they only happen when unions and labor rights organizations, like SAGE's grantee @4workerrights.bsky.social, have sufficient funding. theconversation.com/worker-led-p...

An important pice of work, documenting trends in threats against HRDs who challenge corporate power. Mining, agribusiness, and fossil fuels were the sectors connected with the highest number of attacks. Sadly, and not surprisingly, we see these trends reflected in SAGE's projects.

Great to see SAGE's grantees from the Fair Steel Coalition in Amsterdam on a windy day last week as part of their advocacy tour to hold ArcelorMittal and Ternium accountable for their human rights and climate impacts around the world.

A historic day for the Xinka people, who have engaged in a court-ordered consultation with the gov't on the Escobal mine for 7 years - a process that would not have been as robust but for their leadership. Yesterday, they said no, in part because the state lacks the capacity to manage the risks.

Congrats to Justiça nos Trilhos on receiving the Gwynne Skinner Human Rights Award! SAGE is so proud to have supported JnT's work (with FIDH!) to seek justice for the community of Piquiá de Baixo, building a new neighborhood safe from pollution from Vale's steel production. @theicar.bsky.social

When evidence feels out of reach, SOMO’s pro bono helpdesk, The Counter, can help you find it. We can uncover and piece together scattered data to reveal how companies are linked to abuse and environmental destruction. Here are some examples of investigations we did ➡️ www.somo.nl/what-compani...

If you're attending #CSW69, check out this event about the precedent-setting agreement on GBVH in Indonesian garment factories, made possible by the courage of the workers and research done by SAGE grantees, @4workerrights.bsky.social and SPN.

Congratulations to SAGE grantees, WRC and SPN, and the courageous women garment workers who have negotiated a binding agreement to prevent and address GBVH at 2 factories with 6,250 employees! This is the 3rd agreement of its kind in the sector and the first in SE Asia. We are proud to support you!
