Help Indian Fisher-Folk campaign against unjust eviction

Description

Indian fisher-folk are being unjustly evicted from the sources of their livelihoods–the land and sea that has been their birthright for generations–by vast new port and thermal power station developments. You can help win this fight for justice by offering your solidarity and expertise. Be inspired by the tenacity, grit and determination of Gandimathi and widowed Jesu as they band together the dispossessed in the face of impossible odds.

For over 25 years, founding Neythal and other local charities, Jesu, her late husband and a small group of dedicated community leaders have rallied illiterate fishing folk together to take a stand for their rights. Retired environmental and legal experts and government officials have all joined the cause.

This week, New Zealand-based Global Equity Brokers is discussing how professional experts can be of greatest assistance to Neythal in India. Opportunities could include internet research, advice on environmental and social impacts, communications and marketing advice and technical assistance with video editing.

Global Equity Brokers identifies opportunities for you to offer your international connections, Western expertise and your passion for justice to the issues faced by these marginalised citizens. This is a modern-day David and Goliath story, and you can join the fight.

Global Equity Brokers understands the needs of Western businesses and will tailor opportunities to suit your goals and objectives, allowing you to donate the time you feel able to offer, whether it’s one or two hours or several days or weeks.

With Global Equity Broker’s oversight, it’s as easy as doing your day-job, from your desk or your home, but you get to see the results as you donate your own time and expertise directly to this inspiring project. You will feel the satisfaction of personal fulfilment as you support others in need and grow your legacy to the world.
