Yes to Life No to Mining (YLNM) is a global solidarity network standing up for the right to say NO to mining.
We stand together for life, justice, and solidarity beyond borders.

We support communities resisting mining, expose violations and greenwashing, challenge exploitation, and promote local, systemic alternatives that respect Earth’s limits.

Another world built on care and equality is possible.

Lake Vättern, Sweden’s largest lake, could provide drinking water for millions.

But military drills and a proposed rare earth mine threaten to destroy this vital ecosystem.

Protect Lake Vättern — clean water must come before destruction.

A medida que la situación en Ecuador se intensifica, recordamos cómo la lucha comunitaria logró lo impensable: la Corte Constitucional prohibió la minería en Los Cedros y reconoció los Derechos de la Naturaleza. Defiende a quienes defienden ✊🌱 yestolifenotomining.org/latest-news/...

Deep sea mining is not just a risk for New Ireland — it’s a global threat!

The Pacific communities’ struggle is a call for all of us to resist predatory mining and protect our oceans!
4 - What we Ask For?

Cancel all existing deep sea mining exploration and extraction licenses.

Strong legislation to protect the oceans.

Support for a global moratorium on deep sea mining.
3 - What’s at Stake?

The balance of marine ecosystems, which are vital to Pacific communities’ culture and economy.

The integrity of international agreements like the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).

Democracy and the rights of local peoples.
2 - Who Is Resisting?

Civil society organizations and local communities demand respect for democracy, respect for the science, and respect for national and international laws.
1 - Why Is This a Problem?

The project would cause irreversible environmental damage, affecting oceans and local communities.

Local communities were not properly consulted — free, prior, and informed consent (FPIC) was not respected.

6 - To create real change, we must reject greenwashed fixes and the extractive system itself. Feminist movements show us how to build just, caring futures.
5 - Women’s resistance challenges gender norms and builds feminist alternatives to extractivism, rooted in ancestral knowledge and justice.
4 - But women are not just victims. They lead resistance movements worldwide, defending land, life, and community with care and solidarity.
3 - Women face the worst impacts from mining and extractive industries — environmental harm, health risks, displacement, and violence.
2 - Patriarchy treats women, nature, and land as resources to exploit for profit. Colonialism and capitalism are linked to this extractive violence.
1 - Gender is socially constructed and shaped by power. Extractivism impacts people differently depending on gender, race, class, and more.
Extractivism isn’t just an environmental issue — it’s deeply tied to patriarchy and colonialism. These systems harm people and planet, especially women and marginalized genders. Follow the thread 👇🏼
We believe communities — not states or corporations — hold the key to a post-extractive future. 🌱✊

Yes to Life No to Mining fights for that future through solidarity and collective action.
