Plan de Ayala, Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas, Mexico
💛 Your support is urgent!
Corruption and unfair practices in Mexico are real. Help us protect our children’s cultural space from real-estate speculation and economic interests.
Our community center —the heart of Vientos Culturales— is at serious risk due to a threat of eviction. The person who donated the land more than 25 years ago, and reaffirmed that commitment in writing in 2002, is now trying to take it back, filing a lawsuit against our organization for “land dispossession.”
This sudden turn forces us to cover the costs of legal defense —attorney fees, expert assessments, and essential procedures— to safeguard our space.
🌿 Since 1999, Vientos Culturales has been a place of encounter, creation, and hope.
More than 5,000 children and adolescents living in vulnerable conditions have found here a place to express themselves, create, and defend their rights through arts, culture, and community participation.
Children growing up in peri-urban areas are among the most affected by land speculation and the absence of legal protections. Their cultural and recreational spaces disappear while authorities look away. The rights of children and adolescents to culture, education, and a safe environment must not depend on private interests or arbitrary legal actions.
🫀 Our center is not just a property:
It is the land we care for,
the trees we planted 25 years ago that now give shade,
the adobe house we built,
the mural painted by children,
and the refuge where their voices, creativity, and confidence can flourish.
💛 Your support keeps a story, a dream, and a community alive.
Defending our community center is more than a legal battle:
it is a demand for justice, transparency, and social responsibility.
With your donation, you are not only protecting a physical space — you are defending the cultural rights of thousands of children and adolescents in Mexico and Latin America.
