    And don't even get me started with how #LatinAmerica was "Christianized" by the #CatholicChurch.

    I still remember the following: a priest travelling with the #conquistadores would read out a proclamation in Spanish to an native-American settlement telling them to "convert now" or be subjugated. They never did, as they did not understand.

  2. Feuerwehrleute kämpfen gegen die Waldbrände im brasilianischen #Pantanal, dem größten tropischen #Feuchtgebiet der Welt. Das Pantanal ist die Heimat von Jaguaren, Riesenameisenbären und Riesenflussottern. Lokalen Medienberichten zufolge wurden im Bundesstaat Mato Grosso do Sul bereits fast #32.000 Hektar durch die Brände zerstört. #Klimaexperten zufolge hat die diesjährige #Waldbrandsaison früher begonnen und ist intensiver als in den Vorjahren. Feuerwehrleute erklärten, dass ihre Bemühungen, die Flammen zu löschen, durch starke Winde am Wochenende behindert wurden. Außerdem hat es in der Region weniger geregnet als in anderen Jahren, was die Ausbreitung der Brände erleichtert hat.

  4. Las mujeres latinas inmigrantes son las más afectadas por la disparidad salarial, pero con demasiada frecuencia son excluidas en los datos.

    Es hora de que Prioricemos sus voces y exijamos soluciones permanentes.

  5. BUT...

    In 2024, only 8.9% of Latinas belonged to unions, below the 9.5% for women overall.

    Union women earn more & get better benefits. We need stronger unions for Latinas!

  6. 📊 Unions help shrink the wage gap. In 2024, union women earned 87¢ per $1 vs 82¢ among nonunion workers.

    Stronger unions = fairer pay, stronger protections.

  7. It's Latina Equal Pay Day!

    Let's learn some things:

    Latina women who work full time, year round, and part time earn only 54 cents for every $1 earned by a white male.

    Let's be in solidarity against pay discrimination & occupational segregation!

    We need #LatinaEqualPay for #Trabajadoras everywhere.

  8. Latinas make just 57 cents, on average, for every $1 made by white, non-Hispanic men. Over the course of a 40 year career, Latinas stand to lose more than $1 million. For Latinas who are undocumented, non-binary, transgender, Afrolatina, or Indigenous, the pay gap is even worse. #LatinaEqualPayDay #Trabajadoras

  9. #Activists Who Sacrificed Their Lives To Save The #AmazonRainforest

    "According to reports, on average, one activist has been killed in #Brazil every week since 2002. Most of the killings happened in remote areas of the Amazon.

    "#ChicoMendes was a labor leader and activist who fought against the #deforestation of the #AmazonRainforest. In 1988, Mendes was shot and killed in front of his house by a cattle rancher named Darcy Alves.

    "#NazildoDosSantosBrito was an anti-#PalmOil campaigner. In 2018, Brito was shot and killed, but none of his possessions were missing. Rights groups say he was killed due to his activism in the Amazon.

    "Maxciel Pereira dos Santos was a defender of Brazil’s Indigenous people. In 2019, he was killed execution-style in front of his family members.

    "For decades, the Amazon Rainforest has been the target of #CattleRanchers, #farmers, #loggers, and #miners who seek to take the forest’s land and natural resources. Over the past 50 years, about 17% of the Amazon rainforest has been destroyed."
