DESCRIPTION:Please join us to welcome and hear from international human & environmental 
 rights advocate, Vidalina Morales. Morales currently serves as president of 
 ADES, the Association of Economic and Social Development, based in Cabañas 
 in northern El Salvador. She was a key leader in a 14-year campaign that 
 made El Salvador the first nation on earth to ban metals mining to save its 
 rivers.  \n\nIn addition to its work to end mining, ADES has been central 
 to the spread of organic agriculture in El Salvador, a leader in the 
 struggle against water privatization, and at the cutting edge of community 
 organizing to counter violence and advance women's rights.  Vidalina has 
 been at the forefront of the campaign to drop fraudulent charges against 
 five prominent "water defenders," including ADES Director Antonio Pacheco, 
 who were arrested by the Bukele government in January 2023. \n\nThanks to 
 the constant organizing of the community and international solidarity 
 allies, the water defenders were transferred to house arrest in September 
 after eight months of unjust detention.  She is an inspiring and powerful 
 speaker with extensive experience building international solidarity in a 
 global struggle to protect people and the planet from corporate 
 greed!\n\nSponsored by SHARE-El Salvador Foundation, Bay Area Chapter of 
 the Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador, USF Migration 
 and Solidarity Network, and the USF Migration Studies Program.\n\nFor more
