The ILC specifically targets U.S. state and local governments, government officials, and corporate actors illegally investing public funds in ways that negatively impact the land rights and economic power of communities resisting displacement in the U.S. South and Global South.

The ILC aims to 1) create a legal and policy framework that forces systemic actors to divest public funds from human rights violations and re-allocate divested public funds to local needs, 2) build community campaigns in the U.S. South to use the funds divested from human rights violations to build regenerative, local solidarity economies, and 3) Build internationalist solidarity between the U.S. South and Global South.

The ILC intentionally crafts replicable campaigns and builds strategic partnerships with national and international movement partners to incubate community campaigns throughout the U.S. South and build solidarity with the Global South.
