Reclaim Our Commons, Resist Corporate Capture: A Manifesto for Earth Day 2026
22nd April 2026
On Earth Day 2026, this manifesto exposes how unchecked corporate power and a state-corporate nexus are driving ecological collapse across India—devastating rivers, coasts, forests, and communities while eroding democratic safeguards.
It calls for organized people’s resistance to reclaim commons, defend Indigenous and traditional livelihoods, and challenge extractive “development” models threatening both the environment and social justice. – https://foeindia.net/2026/04/22/reclaim-our-commons-resist-corporate-capture-a-manifesto-for-earth-day-2026/

We are writing to you on behalf of concerned citizens and civil society organisations to draw your attention to critical issues that need to be raised regarding the proposed Disaster Management Amendment Bill in Rajya Sabha. The bill not only represents a missed opportunity to strengthen the country’s disaster management framework but also introduces changes that further weaken the existing framework. We present here our concerns in two segments, one that is immediate and needs urgent attention, and also a holistic critique of the Act. https://foeindia.net/2025/01/22/joint-statement-on-disaster-managment-amendment-bill/
