Development and Peace: Reaping Our Rights Campaign 

Thank you for participating in our Reaping Our Rights Campaign! Thousands of Canadians signed the action sheet for the Create Hope Campaign in solidarity with the peasant farmers who feed the world and care for the Earth.

Undaunted, peasant farmers organize and advocate for their rights. It was their courageous mobilization that led to the adoption of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Peasants and Other People Working in Rural Areas (UNDROP). Let us be thankful for the abundance of food we are privileged to eat provided to 70-80% of the world by peasant farmers and rural communities in the Global South.

We continue to collect signatures online across the country until April 17, 2025. After that, a delegation from Development and Peace — Caritas Canada will take the signatures to Ottawa to ensure that the Canadian government heeds our call for mandatory human rights and environmental due diligence legislation.

Thank you for your continued commitment and mobilization!
