The Potential of Grassroots International Solidarity

Miriam Rose

Foil Vedanta core activist Miriam Rose shares her experience of standing alongside community resistance to bring mining giant Vedanta Resources to justice for pollution and human rights abuses across India and Africa. Miriam speaks about the role of financiers, tax havens, UK government ministers, aid agencies and NGOs in facilitating neo-colonial mining land grabs and resource racism, and how western based grassroots activists can have a real impact in unmasking the power and working in real solidarity.
