Corporate Accountability se suma a pedir: #BastaDePublicidadChatarra "Las estrategias de publicidad y promoción que utilizan las industrias de alimentos y bebidas ultraprocesados encuentran muchas similitudes con las que emplearon y emplean la industria tabacalera para fomentar el consumo de sus productos de tabaco y nicotina principalmente entre niños, niñas y adolescentes, tal y como lo ha documentado recientemente el informe de la Relatoría de Derechos Económicos, Sociales y Culturales en su informe sobre enfermedades no transmisibles y derechos humanos en la región de las Américas. Un llamado a implementar los aprendizajes de desarrollos normativos que ha desarrollado el convenio marco para el control de tabaco para abordar y hacerle frente a esta problemática." ¡Basta YA de Publicidad Chatarra!

“Imperialism has laid its body over the world, the head in Eastern Asia, the heart in the Middle East, its arteries reaching Africa and Latin America. Wherever you strike it, you damage it, and you serve the World Revolution…The Palestinian cause is not a cause for Palestinians only, but a cause for every revolutionary, wherever he is, as a cause of the exploited and oppressed masses in our era.” -Ghassan Kanafani Read our full statement reflecting on One Year of Resisting the U.S.-Backed Genocide in Palestine here: drive.google.com/file/d/1Wat2rR…
