  • Section 3: Land back
    Land Back exemplifies the demand for the return of stolen territories, advocating for the restoration of ancestral lands to Indigenous communities. This movement seeks to address issues of dispossession and displacement while reclaiming sovereignty over natural resources. By challenging the expropriation of capital and returning land, the collective demand of land back aims to disrupt the entrenched systems of capitalism and state liberalism deeply rooted in ongoing colonization.

  • Section 5: Debt Cancellation
    Debt operates as a tool of oppression to perpetuate relationships of inequality, domination, expropriation, and enslavement. Debt is far from neutral; it actively exploits social differences in tangible and contextualized manners, reinforcing existing and creating new patterns of domination. As such demands for the cancellation of debt is an important site of reparative justice.
