2025 in Review: Our End-of-Year Highlights

Movement Momentum Amidst Mounting Crises

The past year has been characterized by extraordinary challenges met with bold and powerful actions by social movements across the globe. In the face of rising authoritarianism, genocide, climate chaos, and more, our movement partners and allies have not wavered.

1. Movements convened to set the global food sovereignty agenda.

In September, 700+ social movement representatives from 100+ countries came together in Sri Lanka for the Third Nyeleni Global Forum, charting a path forward for the next 25 years of food sovereignty and a collective agenda toward broader systemic transformation.

2. Grassroots feminist movements built power across borders.

In October, the 6th International Action of the World March of Women culminated with coordinated mobilizations across regions, denouncing rising authoritarianism and militarism and uplifting alternatives grounded in grassroots feminisms.

3. Mass mobilizations brought people’s demands for climate justice to UN climate talks.

In November, tens of thousands converged for the People’s Summit Towards COP30 in Brazil’s Amazon region in parallel to the UN climate meetings, calling out corporate greenwashing of the intensifying climate crisis and advancing solutions rooted in territory, sovereignty, and justice.

4. Regional food sovereignty leadership was officially established on Haitian soil.

In Haiti, the Peasant Movement of Papaye (MPP) took the momentous step of hosting the Caribbean Regional Secretariat of La Vía Campesina for the first time on Haitian soil, highlighting Haitian movements’ many contributions to building food sovereignty amidst multiple crises.
