Chocó, where 80% of the population is Black and the rest indigenous, is not only the epicenter of Colombia’s earthquake, but also of its racist state violence, mass displacement, armed conflict, exploitative mining, total public neglect, and political persecution. This fascist regime was already going to leave Chocó for dead. The solidarity efforts— with everyone, from Buenaventura to Pereira— in the coming weeks will be so important. As joint US military operations ramp up, these communities deserve critical and sustained international solidarity.
