Abya Yala in the Crosshairs: Conversations on Anti-Militarism in the Region

25 November 10:00 pm 11:00 pm CET

Poster displaying torn collage art and text for a webinar titled ABYA YALA EN LA MIRA, focused on urgent talks against militarism in Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, and Argentina. Event date: November 25, 18:00 Rio de Janeiro.

Abya Yala has become a central territory in the U.S. war geopolitics. Under narratives like the “war on drugs” and “hemispheric security,” militarisation and territorial control continue to expand, reinforced by right-wing governments aligned with U.S. militarist policies.

This increasingly aggressive deployment turns security into a tool of social control, justifying surveillance, criminalisation of movements, and repression against those defending their territories.

In this webinar, we will explore how this doctrine operates in Colombia, Argentina, Mexico, and Brazil, and collectively reflect on strategies to confront the advance of militarism.

Date & Time: Nov 25 | 18:00 Rio de Janeiro, 16:00 Bogotá, 15:00 Mexico City
Language: Spanish with interpretation into Portuguese and English
