The 5th edition of the US Human Rights Network’s Human Rights Status Report  was released on January 15, 2018 (Martin Luther King, Jr. Day). The report was drafted “in order to highlight the issues that Dr. King organized around and issues that grassroots leaders in the U.S. continue to fight for, namely racial, economic and climate justice,” says US Human Rights Network Executive Director Colette Pichon Battle. “2017 saw a record number of climate disruptions and corporate attacks on natural resources that continue to uncover the thinly veiled structural discrimination faced by Indigenous, Black and poor communities across the country,” Battle continued in the introduction of the report.

Cultural Survival welcomes the newest member of our staff, Bia’ni Madsa’ Juárez López, as Program Associate for the Community Media and Indigenous Rights Radio Programs. Bia’ni is Mixe (Ayuuk ja’ay) and Zapotec (Binnizá) from Oaxaca, Mexico. She was born in Oaxaca and grew up in the two towns and cultures.

Since her childhood, Bia’ni has been a part of the Indigenous resistance movement in Mexico and a part of many local social organizations.

Cultural Survival is pleased to announce a call for proposals for the Community Media Indigenous Youth Fellowship Project that will support young Indigenous individuals in their efforts to build their capacity as radio broadcasters and journalists through specific trainings, community radio visits or exchanges, radio production, conference attendance, and other identified education and training opportunities. Eligible applicants must reside in Mexico, Peru, Bolivia, Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, South Africa, and Nepal.
Cultural Survival, with the support of the Channel Foundation, recently wrapped up a training  project aimed at strengthening the participation of Indigenous women in community radio in Central America. Two sessions were held, one in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala with ten women from Guatemala and the second in Managua, Nicaragua with ten women from El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. The goal was to increase the knowledge of women in journalism and radio production, discuss gender from an intercultural approach and plan a path from empowerment to leadership. Several women, for the first time, produced their own radio programs.
On November 6-17, 2017, a delegation of Indigenous Kichwa leaders from the community of Sarayaku, deep in Ecuadorian Amazon, accompanied by Amazon Watch, traveled to the 23rd Conference of the Parties (COP23) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Bonn, Germany, to promote their Kawsak Sacha ("Living Forest") proposal -- a comprehensive vision for living in harmony with the natural world based upon their ancestral practices.
