Salvadoran Youth ¡Adelante!
Organizing in the New Era of Struggle

Friday, October 28th at Noon; Liberty Plaza/Zuccotti Park at Occupied Wall Street

For the first time in 500 years, the Salvadoran government is serving the poor, excluded majority. FMLN youth leader Margarito Nolasco is traveling the east coast to discuss how youth are stepping up to clinch justice and dignity for all Salvadorans, what’s at stake in the first elections since the 2009 victory, and how YOU can be part of El Salvador’s transformation!

Join Margarito and CISPES at the Wall Street occupation for a conversation about the FMLN’s revolutionary struggle, US Imperialism, and radical youth leadership from El Salvador to Liberty Plaza!

Overview of Commerce Group Suit against El Salvador under DR-CAFTA

Tue, 21 Sep 2010 11:54:37 -0400

Overview of Commerce Group Suit against El Salvador under DR-CAFTA:

“In 2006, the government of El Salvador revoked the company’s permits to exploit the gold deposits for environmental reasons. It is that decision which the Commerce Group is challenging in its arbitration.

Salvadoran environmental activists are concerned about existing contamination of the San Sebastian river in the area surrounding the mine. Last Tuesday, September 14, an internet video forum was held where Cidia Cortez and David Pereira of the Center for Investigation over Investment and Trade (CEICOM) described the results of CEICOM’s investigation into the environmental effects of the San Sebastian mine. The investigation was performed in conjunction with geologist Dina Larios, a professor at Ohio University. They described findings related to acid drainage from the mine producing elevated levels of heavy metals in the waterway as well as health effects evident in the local population. You can see an archived copy of the video forum at this link. You can also read reports of some of their findings here andhere. The photos from San Sebastian below are from today’s article in Diario CoLatino.”
