President Biden is in Peru along with representatives of 20 other Pacific Rim nations for his last Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum. Ahead of official meetings today, police cracked down on protesters in Lima, who called out the repressive government of interim President Dina Boluarte and the exploitation of Peru’s resources.

Elizabeth Cano: “Foreign investment can come as long as they leave progress and benefits for the Peruvian people, because this country is killing us with transnational mining companies and polluting our rivers and burning our jungle. I don’t think any country would agree with that.”

Biden will head to Brazil next for the G20. A concurrent “People’s Summit” will also take place in Rio, bringing together human rights, Indigenous and climate activists.
