Berta Cáceres in Defense of Water
Rights
Webinar at 7 pm CT, Wed, March
10, 2021
March 2, 2021 is the 5th anniversary of
the death of Berta Cáceres.
After winning the Goldman Environmental Prize she
was murdered for successfully organizing opposition to the Agua Zarca
Dam in Honduras.
Corporations are investing in energy production,
which includes hydropower and solar and wind power as well as
fossil fuels.
This leads to loss of autonomy by communities in
Latin America, Africa, and Asia as well as extensive environmental
damage.
