Unified call for solidarity with peoples affected by the systematic violence of the neoliberal model in Latin America and the Caribbean

The statement argues that the escalation of murders and persecution of social movement leaders in Latin America and the Caribbean is a result of 'neoliberalism’s programmatic fundamentalism' and an 'architecture of impunity'. It claims that transnational corporations and imperialistic forces drive this violence to protect profits derived from 'economic and environmental corporatization and financialization'. The signatories call for the creation of an 'internationalist front against fascism' to protect defenders of territories and fundamental rights and to end the cycle of impunity where perpetrators remain unidentified.

• The document asserts that social activists and defenders of territories are facing a 'systematic extermination policy' in Latin America and the Caribbean, exacerbated by the rise of 'ultraneoliberal conservative regimes'.
• The violence against activists is linked to the interests of transnational corporations and imperialistic forces that profit from the 'financialization' and 'corporatization' of the environment and economy.
• A pervasive 'architecture of impunity' allows the repetition of violence because the masterminds and perpetrators of murders are rarely identified or punished by states and multilateral organizations.
