DESCRIPTION:CISPES (Committee in Solidarity With the People of El Salvador) invites you 
 to attend an evening program featuring keynote speaker, Claudia Liduvina 
 Escobar, who is well equipped to articulate the crucial role of the labor 
 and social movements in the Salvadoran transformative process. She is the 
 Secretary General of the Workers Union at the Ministry of Labor of El 
 Salvador (SITRAMITPS) and member of the Executive Committee of the 
 Women’s Caucus of the multi-sector union federation CONFUERSA. 
 \n\nCompañera Claudia will be joined by Angela Sanbrano, founding director 
 of CISPES and President of the Board of Directors of the National Alliance 
 of Latin American and Caribbean Communities (NALACC), and by David Bacon, 
 writer, photojournalist and author of The Right to Stay Home: How U.S. 
 Policy Drives Migration. The event begins at 6:30 p.m. The public is 
 invited. We request a donation at the door of $10 to $30 on a sliding scale 
 based on what someone can afford.\n\nCISPES (Committee in Solidarity With 
 the People of El Salvador) is holding its 15 National Convention in the San 
 Francisco Bay Area this coming Labor Day week-\nend. CISPES people from all 
 over the country will discuss and decide what we must do to confront U.S. 
 intervention and support the Salvadoran people in their quest for 
 self-determination and social and economic justice. \nThe 2009 election of 
 Mauricio Funes began the process of developing a government that serves the 
 interests of the people. The victory this year of former FMLN commander 
 Salvador Sánchez Cerén demonstrates the people’s commitment to continue 
 and expand El Salvador’s transformative process. El Salvador’s labor 
 and social movement will play a crucial role in the next five years 
 mobilizing the popular force necessary to expand the transformations and to 
 defend the new administration against the destabilizing attacks from the 
 domestic and international right-wing. U.S. intervention has remained 
 strong, if less politically overt. \n\nThe U.S. government continues to 
 impose neoliberal economic policies like the public private partnerships to 
 increase the profits of the transnational corporate class. Our role in 
 CISPES is to stay the hand of U.S. imperialism to provide the political 
 space for the Salvadoran people to achieve a democratic and just 
 society.\n\n \n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2014/08/10/18759868.php
