Unknown content type | CISPES: Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador

In El Salvador as throughout the world, women and girls face a daily reality of violence, subordination, and exclusion. This reality intersects in especially brutal ways for women and girls who additionally occupy marginalized spaces of race, class, sexual identity, and disability, among others. As an emancipatory project, El Salvador’s feminist social movement has been increasingly powerful in drawing attention to the structural, capitalist roots of this reality and demanding that change occur at this level (liberal white feminism: take note).

President Trump's nominee for the next U.S. Ambassador to El Salvador is Ronald Johnson, a former military colonel who was stationed in El Salvador during the Civil War. Johnson is currently a CIA liaison to the U.S. Armed Forces Southern Command. This is a true cause for alarm given the devastation that U.S. militarization continues to cause throughout Central America and around the world.

"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
