Introduction

Are you passionate about challenging US and corporate intervention in Latin America? Do you have experience raising money for movement work (or are excited to learn these skills)? Consider applying for a part-time phonebank position with CISPES, the Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador!

Position is based in the Bay Area.

As repression deepens in El Salvador, resistance and international solidarity also persist. From San Salvador to Mexico City to Los Angeles over the last few weeks, social movement and solidarity organizations have held rallies denouncing the authoritarian Bukele regime and demanding an end to mounting human rights violations.

To the sound of the chant "There is no pride without struggle", Salvadoran LGBTI+ activists who participated in the Pride 2022 march, called on the community to express themselves "against all systems of oppression under a political regime that threatens our rights" and to unite, today more than ever for justice, equality and liberation for all.

Around 20 thousand people joined this commemoration of the vindication of LGBTI+ rights and demanded the approval of a Gender Identity Law that allows trans people the recognition and full enjoyment of their rights.

"I am a CISPES supporter because continuing to fight for social justice and a more people-centered country means continuing the dream and sacrifice of thousands of my fellow Salvadorans who died for that vision.” - Padre Carlos, New York City
