The story highlights these two courageous women who have tirelessly given of themselves to the struggle for true democracy, and human rights for all.
I have established this website to ask you to support solidarity activities with indigenous communities in Mexico through socially responsible travel and volunteering. As you may know, I am planning to build on my experience organizing communities for social justice by attending law school in Chicago in August. Before this, I will be learning skills from and sharing skills with the global community via travel to Chiapas and Oaxaca- both regions have rich models of self- governance and autonomy. I hope that experiencing different perspectives will strengthen my ability to engage in advocacy and solidarity work more consciously and effectively.
