Economic austerity measures imposed on Ecuador by the International Monetary Fund sparked massive protests led by the indigenous movement which brought the country to a standstill.

Ecuador's indigenous movement, representing those most at risk, forced the government to repeal Decree 883, and now they are calling on the IMF directly to respect the demands of the indigenous movement and end policies that promote oil and mining extraction in their territories.

The eleven-day national strike by indigenous peoples earlier this month was met with brutal state repression, with current estimates of at least eight people dead, 1,340 injured, and 1,192 detained.

The indigenous movement overcame all this and ultimately forced Moreno to repeal the decree and come to the negotiating table, where they are calling for an economic package that respects rights and declares an end to all new oil and mining extraction.

Please let the IMF know that you support these demands!
