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.

</font>
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
