[[Definition]]

• Teia dos Povos is
  • a [[Brazil]]ian [[political movement]].
  • in [[English]]: [[The Web of the Peoples]]
  • according to itself:

The Web of the Peoples is a dialogue between communities, territories, peoples and political organizations, both rural and urban. Extractive workers, riverside dwellers, native peoples, quilombolas, people from the peripheries, landless, homeless and small farmers come together, as basic units and links, in this composition aiming at formulating the paths of collective emancipation. In other words, building a Black, Indigenous and Popular Alliance in solidarity.

With the project Land and Territory through autonomy, we seek to build an alliance for struggle independent from electoral politics and State institutions. Shaping the autonomy of peoples and outlining a food sovereignty program are the steps we understand as necessary for true liberation, as it is historically evident that only our own hands will give us the conditions to defend our survival.

With that in mind, we place Creole Seeds as the foundation. We return to the beginning, anchored in ancient wisdom, trying to think of an agricultural practice that differs from the currently hegemonic one. Contrary to everything that agribusiness represents – a project of death against biomes, landowners’ violence against traditional communities – in the agroecological struggle we have established the generation of wealth and the conservation of the Earth as the totality of Life. [...]

There are three founding principles of the Web, reaffirmed year after year as a common horizon among those who compose this alliance:

I. Land and food as a philosophical and life principle, which is built through unrestricted solidarity to movements for the defense of territoriality, using the pedagogy of example.

II. Work and study for freedom that enables the construction of a new way of life, deconstructing the legacy of the capitalist, racist and patriarchal models.

III. Reaffirm the ancestral gaze in the construction of a new time, contextualized to our form.
