Indian farmers are leading the biggest protest in human history.
They are demanding dignity and justice in the face of increasingly harsh policies that favor corporations.
It's inspiring to see them protest with such vigor and resolve. #HistoricTractorMarch

These protests are about farmers, the people who feed all of us. They labor everyday to serve their communities, and what do they get in return?
Instead of supporting them, their government pulls the rug out from underneath yet again? That's not right.

The protests are about the fair treatment of India's farming community, and it's also about more than that, too. The pandemic has shown us that there are two economies. essential workers across the world are suffering.
The farmers in India represent all of them, and their resistance to unjust legislation that privileges the uber-wealthy corporations is a resistance that speaks to so many of us all over the world.
In the past, when Indian agricultural workers have protested for fair prices and working conditions, the Indian government has responded with violent crackdowns that include documented torture, human rights abuses, and extra-judicial killings.
