Collaborations & Projects

The Global Tapestry of Alternatives (GTA) is a process, initiated in 2019, that seeks to create solidarity networks and strategic alliances among all these existing and emerging alternatives at the local, regional, and global levels. It focuses on connecting and fostering interactions, learning experiences, and collaborations among alternatives. It operates through varied and lightweight structures, defined in each space, that are horizontal, democratic, inclusive, and distributed, using diverse local languages and multiple forms of communication. The initiative has no central structure or control mechanisms, but instead aspires to function in a horizontal, democratic, and reality-based manner. It is important to note that the GTA is grounded in the concepts and practices of indigenous peoples and other local communities and collectives.

This initiative was born from a group of people and organizations from different Latin American countries. We are driven by the urgency to build social dynamics capable of responding to and countering the dynamics of capitalist rearrangement, wealth concentration, and ecosystem destruction that we see emerging in the midst of the civilizatory crisis, and of collectively shaping, together with all who wish to join, a collective horizon of transformation for our America that guarantees a dignified future.

The Observatory of Sacrifice Zones in Mexico is a collective project led by the organization Conexiones Climáticas and supported by a series of collectives, movements, and civil society organizations in Mexico. The observatory has the support of the Heinrich Böll Foundation in Mexico.

Humo. Señales para otros mundos posibles is a podcast of conversations between Pablo Montaño, Yásnaya Aguilar, and Carlos Tornel with various guests that seeks to reflect on the clear failure of the international community, states, and corporations to respond to the climate crisis, pointing to the fact that, as warming is a symptom of the collapse of capitalist modernity (capitalism aided by a colonial and patriarchal enterprise), alternatives toward a less heated future will only be viable from other worlds beyond capitalism.
