🌱 Today, we are launching our Emergency Fund Impact Report for the period of September–November 2025. This report is provided in gratitude—and for transparency—to everyone who supported this initiative in solidarity with our communities impacted during the 2025 national strike (paro).

🌱 Thanks to your generous support thus far, over 50 families and dozens of communities have been supported and shown that they are not alone in this struggle. The report details where the funds were allotted, our decision-making process, and shares a few messages of gratitude from folks who received your donations. This report will also live on our webpage and be updated as we continue this work.

❤️‍🩹 These past weeks have given us space and time to speak to community leaders and brigade leaders to clarify where the needs still lay. With over 400 injured, 38 in critical condition, 13 in active legal proceedings, and 3 killed, there is still much support needed.

On this #GivingTuesday 💙 we ask that you all continue to show your solidarity. As communities in Imbabura continue to heal from the devastating impacts of the paro in September–October 2025, your support has direct impact. By supporting, we can ensure that the memory of this paro is upheld, people’s sacrifices are honored, and we continue showing solidarity across borders in this long-term fight against global fascism and colonization. ✊🏽🌎🔥

📄 You can also view the full report on our website. 🔗 Continue donating — link in bio.

Nothing will be the same. October 14th marked one of the hardest days our communities have lived through. The repression left families, youth, and elders deeply impacted, some severely injured and currently hospitalized, some lost limbs and Noboa killed another one of our compañeros, Jose Guaman.

Yesterday, on our show, we spoke to one of those victims and heard his heart wrenching testimony on how he was violently assaulted by the military, detained, and, even after being freed, still feeling the physical impacts of military abuse on his body and mind. The fear and anger we are feeling is real but we are rallying together to try and help as much as we can.

Thanks to your support, funds have thus far gone directly to aid injured relatives needing immediate medical assistance as well as to impacted families of those illegally detained. As we move through this, and seriously understand the magnitude of the violence that took place on the 14th, the needs continue to rise and so does our fight to make sure our communities are supported.

We’re continuing to raise funds for direct assistance-now and for the long term-to help our community heal and rebuild. Help is appreciated now more than ever. Any little bit helps!

🚨MAMA COTACACHI WILDFIRE🚨

🔔[MUTUAL AID IS NOW CLOSED]

🔥 A wildfire has struck one of the most sacred mountains for our Kichwa community. Mama Cotacachi is on fire. In three days, over 600 hectares have been affected, and, as too often happens, it is Indigenous communities on the frontlines, fighting to protect the lands.

Mama Cotacachi is not just a sacred place. She is a source of water for the surrounding communities, their crops, and all of the animals that call the páramo home.

Community members from surrounding communities, along with firefighters and volunteers from all over Imbabura have been fighting these flames. But they need our support!

They need food, water, protective equipment, and emergency supplies.

@kichwacollective is raising funds to help with this community response. All donations will go directly to Indigenous organizations on the ground getting urgent supplies to people fighting this fire and who have been affected by this fire.

Migration is an ancestral right. The detention of Indigenous children is colonial violence. Abolish IC3.

#Ecuador 🕊️ Fallece la cuarta víctima de la represión estatal

El sábado 27 de diciembre de 2025, Cotacachi amaneció de luto. Ese día falleció Edison David Farinango Tontaquimba, comunero de San Ignacio, artesano, agricultor y constructor, tras permanecer cerca de dos meses en estado crítico por graves heridas sufridas durante el Paro Nacional de octubre.

Edison recibió dos impactos de bombas lacrimógenas, uno en la pierna y otro en la espalda, a la altura de los riñones. Las lesiones derivaron en una falla renal severa, agravada por un cuadro hepático. Pese a la atención médica en el Hospital Eugenio Espejo de Quito, su cuerpo no resistió.

Durante las protestas, organismos nacionales e internacionales de derechos humanos, incluida la CIDH, alertaron sobre violaciones a los derechos humanos y exhortaron al Estado a investigar, juzgar y sancionar los hechos.

Hoy, a las 13h00, se realizará la misa en su memoria en la iglesia La Matriz de Cotacachi, seguida de su sepelio.

Two months ago, my community was at the heart of the national strike (Imbabura, Ecuador)

Over 400 community members were injured as a result of extreme repression by the Ecuadorian government, with bullets and tear gas aimed directly at Indigenous people.

The stories coming from territory are heartbreaking. There are so many still injured, still healing, still waiting for support. So I’m sharing this here in hopes that we can continue raising awareness and visibility, because every donation truly goes a long way.

@kichwahatari has an emergency fund that has been able to provide direct aid to injured community members. You can donate through the link in my bio ⚡️

If you’re not able to donate, sharing and amplifying is very helpful🌎

If you have creative ideas to help raise more funds, DM me.If you’re an Indigenous artist interested in donating work for a possible raffle, please reach out too🤍 by @kichwahatari
