DESCRIPTION:Women and Globalization: Fair Trade for Coffee Farmers\nSpeaker: Alexa 
 Marin Colindras \n\nSPEAKER AND TOPIC: Alexa Marin Colindras is an 
 inspiring 31-year-old coffee farmer from Nueva Segovia, a region known for 
 its high quality coffee. In 1994, Alexa became a member of the Prodecoop 
 farmer cooperative, where she now serves as Treasurer and Vice President. 
 The crisis in the coffee industry is devastating poor farmers in Nicaragua 
 and across Latin America.  Women are especially hard hit by forces of 
 globalization, which leave women with little resources to feed their 
 families and send their kids to school.  Alexa inspires audiences by 
 demonstrating the concrete impacts of local organizing for global justice 
 through promoting Fair Trade coffee.  \n	Alexa will also be speaking about 
 Berkeley’s Measure 0 and how it will affect small farmers around the 
 world.  \n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2004/02/03/12013.php
