Sistering: Grassroots Organizing

for Global Rights

October 2-3

Dear MASCP Friends,

 

Just a reminder about our upcoming events next week. If you would like to sign up for the Popular Education Workshop, there is still room. We hope you can join us!


In March of this year, El Salvador became the first country to ban metallic mining, because of its destructive impact on the country’s fragile environment and water resources.


The Madison Arcatao Sister City Project (MASCP) is proud to welcome Zulma Tobar, Salvadoran Coordinator of our parent organization, US El
Salvador Sister Cities, and Cintia Gonzalez, lead organizer from our Salvadoran sistering partner, the Association for the Development of El Salvador (CRIPDES).


These two international environmental and human rights activists will be in Madison on October 2-3 to share community organizing strategies and lessons learned from their long struggle against mining and for
environmental justice across borders. There will be several opportunities to interact and learn from them. Everyone is warmly invited to participate:
