Since 1970, every year on April 22, people across the globe join together to celebrate Mother Earth. In 2009, the UN General Assembly proclaimed April 22 as International Mother Earth Day . For many Indigenous Peoples, we celebrate this gratitude every day. "As our bodies originated of her, we properly regard her as our Earth Mother. Her life is our life.
On April 22-24, 2020, Native rock musician Robby Romero (Apache) will be one of the headliners of Mother Earth Day Live, a three-day livestream commemorating the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, to be held this year as part of efforts to promote social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic.

El mundo se encuentra en un momento de crisis ante la pandemia COVID-19 que hasta este momento (3 de abril de 2020, 12:59 pm CT) contabiliza 1,066,706 personas contagiadas en 181 países, con un impacto de 56,767 personas fallecidas. Esta crisis ha tenido grandes implicaciones que no son exclusivamente médicas. Aumento en el desempleo, baja en la producción, escasez y encarecimiento de productos básicos son algunos de los mayores ejemplos.

Uniting Rural and Urban Indigenous Communities in Peru
Centro Sapichay is working to unite the rural and urban Indigenous communities of the Wanka, Chanka, Ashaninka, Ya’nesha, Awajun, Kana and Quechua Peoples in Peru through an Indigenous-led rapid response network, AWAY (Quechua for “to weave”). AWAY draws upon shared value systems to support rural communities and facilitate communication between urban and rural members.
Cultural Survival tiene el honor de anunciar la convocatoria para propuestas sobre “saberes tradicionales” para jóvenes Indígenas colaboradores en medios comunitarios. Buscamos producciones radiales sobre saberes tradicionales o ancestrales (plantas sagradas, curación, ceremonias, lenguaje, musica) los cuales son bienes colectivos en las comunidades Indígenas.
