Dear Project of the Month Club Member,

This October we are shining a light on an organization standing with Indigenous communities in Chiapas, where indigenous people face constant threats to their autonomy, culture, and way of life due to corporate interests, militarization, and organized crime. 

However, this tragic assault on land, culture, and autonomy is not sliding without opposition. As Indigenous communities raise their voices for their land and territory, October Project of the Month winner Frayba works to document violent actions against the Indigenous communities, carry out training sessions to help identify risks and threats against their land; and remind the state of their responsibility to defend the lives of local people and create actions for public advocacy of Indigenous rights.

When Fundraising Manager Nora González  learned that Frayba had been selected as the October POMC, she shared that these funds will create communication products that help raise awareness of the displacement problem in Chiapas.

“We are grateful for this recognition, because it is the result of the efforts of many people,” Nora said. “We are confident that this will help us reach more people who want to donate and show their solidarity with the people of Chiapas.”

We invite you to read more about Frayba's impactful work and ongoing challenges by checking out their most recent project report

Thank you for your commitment to a better world! 

With gratitude, 

Victoria Vrana
