MINI SUBVENCIÓN DE ACOMPAÑAMIENTO PARA LA SOLICITUD DE UNA CONCESIÓN DE USO SOCIAL INDÍGENA
 

Cultural Survival se complace en anunciar su primera Convocatoria de propuestas para el  Proyecto de Mini Subvenciones de Acompañamiento para la Solicitud de una Concesión de Uso Social Indígena de Radiodifusión Sonora (Radio) dirigida a radios comunitarias, organizaciones Indígenas o comunidades y pueblos Indígenas.

Zapotec, Wixarica, Odami, and Nahuatl are four of the 68 Indigenous languages spoken in Mexico. Cultural Survival supports many Indigenous community radio stations around the world, including two organizations that are producing radio programs to be broadcast in these languages.  

Cultural Survival condemns the murder of the Purépecha environmental activist Guadalupe Campanur Tapia, whose body was found on January 16, 2018 in the municipality of Checrán, Michocán, Mexico. She was strangled to death by two unidentified killers. Investigators have not indicated that Campanur’s death was due to her activism, but they have not ruled it out either.

On January 21, 2018, The National Indigenous Congress released a report via Twitter that a group of heavily armed men in two vans intercepted the caravan of aspiring Mexican Indigenous presidential candidate, María de Jesús Patricio Martínez (Nahua), also known as Marichuy, in the state of Michoacán. The report stated that the group intercepted the caravan between Tepalcatepec and Buenavista and threatened the journalists traveling with the candidate before stealing their cellular phones and camera equipment.

Cultural Survival welcomes the newest member of our staff, Bia’ni Madsa’ Juárez López, as Program Associate for the Community Media and Indigenous Rights Radio Programs. Bia’ni is Mixe (Ayuuk ja’ay) and Zapotec (Binnizá) from Oaxaca, Mexico. She was born in Oaxaca and grew up in the two towns and cultures.

Since her childhood, Bia’ni has been a part of the Indigenous resistance movement in Mexico and a part of many local social organizations.
