Civic & Social Organization - Washington, District of Columbia, United States
We are a grassroots organization dedicated to supporting the Salvadoran people's struggle for self-determination and social and economic justice. We support that alternative because we believe that capitalism is a fundamentally unjust, oppressive and ecologically unsustainable economic system. We join with poor and working people, immigrants and refugees in the struggle against neoliberalism-- the current manifestation of capitalism imposed by the United States government and its state, institutional and corporate allies. We focus our work on El Salvador because of the U.S. government's continuing military, economic, and political intervention on behalf of U.S. corporate interests, and because of the Salvadoran people's tenacious and inspiring struggle to build social justice.
