NORTH AMERICA — The report asks: Are we participating in poisoning the Grassy Narrows First Nation, an Indigenous community whose territory lies in northwestern Ontario’s boreal forest along the English-Wabigoon river system? They go on to note: “There, pollution from a mill that produces wood pulp for tissue products continues to create a devastating legacy of mercury poisoning and disrupted economic and food systems. In Grassy Narrows, the true cost of tissue supply chains is measured in damaged health, economic loss, cultural disruption, intergenerational trauma, and premature death.”

PEACEBUILDING EN LAS AMÈRICAS — In an atmosphere of fellowship and hope, the team of facilitators from the western region of Cuba held a productive afternoon of work. Gathered as a body, we recognized that our meetings are not merely an organizational task, but a space where the Spirit unites us, strengthens us, and helps us discover the stream of the power that transforms. The value of working as a team lies in knowing that we are brothers and sisters walking together—supporting one another and seeking creative, peaceful alternatives to the violence currently present in our communities. En un ambiente de comunión y esperanza, el equipo de facilitadores de occidente sostuvo una tarde fructífera de trabajo. Reunidos como cuerpo, reconocimos que encontrarnos no es solo una tarea organizativa, sino un espacio donde el Espíritu nos une, nos fortalece y nos ayuda a encontrar el arroyito del poder que transforma. El valor de ser equipo radica en sabernos hermanos y hermanas que caminan juntos, sosteniéndose mutuamente y buscando alternativas creativas y pacíficas ante la violencia que se vive hoy en nuestras comunidades.
