>From the foundation of Via Campesina in 1993 and the Zapatista uprising a year later in 1994, to the birth of the World Social Forum in 2001 and the current electoral swing against neo-liberalism, Latin America has been a crucible for international movements against market globalism. This Forum brings together three members of these movements - from Mexico, Chile and Brazil - to share stories and insights. 

Heriberto Salas is a represenative from 'the people for the Defence of the Earth' which has spearheaded the resistance against forced removal of the community to make way for a new airport in Mexico City. Recently this movement has engaged with 'the other campaign' initiated by the Zapatistas and been met by massive police repression and killings. 

Rosa del Carmen Curihuentro is a journalist and a Mapuche Indigenous activist who is heavily involved in the struggle against the theft of Mapuche lands by transnational corporations in the South of Chile. 

Maria de Lourdes Vicente da Silva is an organiser with the Landless Workers Movement (MST) in Brazil, which has seen the distribution of millions of acres of land to landless workers across Brazil.
