$10-20 suggested donation to cover costs of P.O.C.C. delegation to El Salvador later this month
The U.S. State Department's use of "anti-terrorism" rhetoric and racist "anti-drug", "anti-immigrant", "anti-gang" sentiment to pass severely repressive laws has touched off another surge of assassinations and forced detentions in Black and Brown communities throughout the US and poor, leftist communities in El Salvador.
People throughout the Americas are mounting a resistance. Last year In El Salvador, 28 vendors and protestors were charged with "Acts of Terrorism" when resisting police raids and water privatization. After months of international outrage and protest, hunger strikes and massive marches in El Salvador, the charges were dropped but political repression and assassinations persist.
Activists at the frontlines fighting police brutality, corporate land theft, and prison plantations or "concentration camps" in the U.S. and its client states are fueling a new struggle that communicates, agitates, and facilitates education and organization across borders with solidarity messages of "Resistencia!" and "Free 'Em All!" towards our collective liberation from capitalist violence and occupation, from racism and political isolation.
