Chile’s proposed constitution, written by a representative democratic convention, is up for a vote on 9/4. If passed, it’ll be a victory for Indigenous self-determination in Chile and across the 🌎. I've translated key Indigenous provisions to expand access & celebrate them. A🧵:
Many, if not all, of these provisions were written by Indigenous peoples of Chile - a critical step toward justice and the first Indigenous participation in co-drafting the document, w/ 17 convention seats reserved for Indigenous peoples including the Mapuche, Rapa Nui, & Aymara.
Throughout this thread, I will tag some North American Indigenous scholars, activists, and orgs whose work you can check out to learn more about referenced topics (all gave permission). I also hope they will find this translation useful. Please follow them and support their work!
This week, Chile announced a proposed new constitution written by a democratically elected convention, and it is likely the most legitimate constitution in the world, as it is written boldly in the context of the climate crisis. A 🧵on its inspiring climate provisions.
Please note, this thread is among the most complete translations of the climate provisions into English yet, so please share widely so people know how serious this really is. On Sep 4th, Chile will vote on this Constitutional proposal, with fierce right wing opposition.
Right wing forces are trying to undermine and delegitimize an admirable, equitable democratic process, implying their preference for a dictator's decree over the will of Chilean people. Intl solidarity is urgently needed to fend off these attacks on Chile’s popular sovereignty.
