THE NUMBER ONE ISSUE

_Lucas Estanislau_ / Brasil de Fato (São Paulo)
The recent victories of progressive candidates in presidential
elections in many South American countries have reopened the debate on
new regional integration mechanisms. The signs sent by presidents
about the urgency in protecting the Amazon rainforest and fighting
climate change indicate that the environmental agenda will be a
crucial topic for regional realignment.

LA LUCHA SIGUE: ABORTION RIGHTS VICTORY
[[link removed]]
_Tina Vásquez_ / Yes! (Poulsbo WA)
According to attorneys and activists in Colombia, Mexico, and
Argentina, securing the right to abortion was the result of a
multipronged approach: grassroots organizing, strategic litigation,
and most importantly, changing the narrative.

_Ana Zorita_ / Green Left (Sydney)
Right-wing groups — led by far-right Santa Cruz governor Luis
Fernando Camacho — have been mobilising against President Luis Arce
to destabilise the democratically elected government. Trade unions
across Latin America have expressed solidarity with Bolivian workers
and their government in the face of right-wing destabilisation
attempts in Santa Cruz since October.

EVANGELICAL LEFTIST
[[link removed]]
_Ana Ionova_ / Americas Quarterly (New York)
Henrique Vieira is a devout Baptist pastor—and a card-carrying
member of Brazil’s Socialism and Freedom Party. HIs decision to run
for office is part of a broader attempt by the Brazilian left to win
over the country’s growing evangelical voter base.

[[link removed]]
_Irene León and José Agualsaca_ / ALAI (Quito)
All possible efforts will be key to achieve substantive convergences
between movements and political actors that advocate for a common good
approach, that advocate for a perspective that places life above
capital, in line with the advanced constitutional definitions that the
country has.

CENTRAL AMERICAN NETWORKS FIGHT
[[link removed]]EXTRACTIVISM
[[link removed]]
_Giada Ferrucci and Pedro Cabezas_ / NACLA Report (New York)
Communities affected by mining projects are organizing in
opposition against the extractive model as they endure its severe
socio-environmental impacts. As anti mining movements have gained
popular support in the region, they have formed strategic national and
regional alliances to achieve important victories in regulating and
even stopping the installation of mining projects.

WORLD NEEDS CHILE’

Al Jazeera (Doha)
While the opposition claims President Boric’s political honeymoon
period ended almost as quickly as it began, his supporters say the
young leader should not be counted out so quickly. How will he move
forward? We find out as Chilean President Gabriel Boric talks to Al
Jazeera.

COLOMBIA IS FINALLY CHANGING
[[link removed]]
_Alejandra Garcia_ / Resumen (Oakland)
Gustavo Petro promised a change, and he is achieving it. One hundred
days after his inauguration ceremony in Bogota’s Bolivar Square, the
first left-wing president of this Latin American country has managed
to implement 50 essential measures to lift Colombians out of endemic
poverty and violence.
