In observance of World Environment Day and the 7th anniversary of the 
Bagua Massacre (June 5th) and on the day of Peru's historic (and 
terrifying) presidential election runoff, we'll look back the tragic 
event described as "the Amazon's Tiananmen Square." Journalist Bill 
Weinberg will speak on how the US-Peru Free Trade Agreement led to the 
massacre and an indigenous uprising throughout the Peruvian Amazon. In 
1994, the passage of NAFTA and consequent push to privatize peasant and 
indigenous lands led to the Zapatista uprising in Chiapas. In 2009, this 
drama played out again in Peru, as the Andean nation entered a free 
trade agreement with Washington. President Alan Garcia issued sweeping 
decrees to turn the vast indigenous territories of the Amazon over to 
the oil and resource industries. This led to an unprecedented uprising 
of Amazonian peoples, that ultimately won repeal of the most onerous 
decrees. Struggles against foreign-backed extractivist industries have 
since spread to peasant communities of Peru's highlands. Our other two 
featured speakers this week are Peruvian activists Wendy Stephany and 
Macarena Arias. Wendy will address the threat posed to Peru by TPP and 
discuss the Peruvian anti-TPP movemnet. Macarena Arias will discuss 
TPP's effect on the palm oil industry in Peru.

*About the Presenters:* WENDY STEPHANY was born Lima, Peru in 1992. She 
is 24 years old, and has worked as a teacher since she was 17. She 
started in social help institutes teaching English that she learned by 
herself and after some time, won a vacancy as an Elementary Teacher. An 
autodidact, she spends her free time in reading, singing, writing poems, 
painting, but most of all in activism because she think nowadays it is a 
must to encourage people to take actions, especially in Peru. She is not 
part of any group because she thinks being free, you can share with all 
of them. She is against mining, against any form of domination to all 
species, against industry, and against the terrible system in her 
country. MACARENA ARIAS is a Peruvian activist working with the 
indigenous village of Santa Clara de Uchunya to stop a palm oil 
plantation from the illegal taking and destruction of their traditional 
lands BILL WEINBERG produces the website WorldWar4Report.com. He is an 
award-winning 30-year veteran journalist in the fields of human rights,
