Dear
Land Rights Now Friends,
On
2 November, more than 1,000 members of the Ogiek
indigenous community of the Mau Forest in Kenya
were forcibly evicted from their land by the
Kenyan government. It was later revealed that
this action was taken in the name of carbon
credits, a false climate solution when taken
without the consent of Indigenous and local
communities. Weeks later, many Ogiek remain
without shelter or access to basic resources.
Their territorial rights also remain tenuous as
the petition for the restoration of the Ogiek's
land awaits a hearing.
Despite
these gross injustices, the case of the Ogiek
remains largely invisible in the media. We urge
our supporters to take the following actions to
support the case.
-
Follow
@OgiekPeoples
on Twitter to receive updates about the eviction
crisis.
-
Join
more than 3,000 supporters and sign our international
petition to support the land rights of the
Ogiek.
-
Generate
visibility about the eviction crisis on social
media and in the news.
In
Solidarity,
Land
