CELEBRATE THE TRIUMPH OF DEMOCRACY IN EL SALVADOR

After centuries of violent inequality and repression, a dozen years of armed struggle against a brutal, U.S.-backed military, and two decades of rule by the right-wing ARENA party, the Salvadoran people elected the first leftist president in their country’s history on March 15th, 2009.  President Mauricio Funes of the FMLN takes office on June 1st, bringing El Salvador into a growing community of Latin America nations seeking to chart their own independent economic and political course.  Join CISPES to learn about the platform, plans, and strategy of the new FMLN government…
…and what WE can do in the U.S. to support the strengthening of REAL democracy in El Salvador!
