The Hub for Environmental Activists and Rights Defenders (HEARD) is a resource-mobilization platform supporting threatened land and environmental rights defenders (collective or individual) facing intimidation, harassment and violence from extractive industry development. We promote existing solutions-oriented resources such as research, guides, technology and tools from NGOs, CSOs, think tanks, communities and technologists - ranging from collective protection methods and grievance mechanisms to community-led research and monitoring. This body of work is often isolated with little visibility or design for cross-sector collaboration. Phase 1 is to increase the visibility and accessibility of these resources. Phase 2 is to finance a rapid-response mobilization and adoption process for multiple resources depending on activist or community requests. |
