CISPES West Coast Touree: Josefina Lazo ![]()
Joining CISPES for the West Coast Tour “We Are Not Terrorists! Organizing is Democracy!” is Josefina Lazo, a member of the national leadership of the Vendors’ Movement.
While fellow leaders were victims of political
persecution in May, Josefina assumed a strong leadership role and
carried the denouncement of state repression to the broader social
movement, the FMLN and the governmental Human Rights office. She
has participated in the series of negotiations facilitated by the Human
Rights office with the Ministry of Economy to seek true solutions or
alternatives for the ever growing informal sector.
Please join Josefina and CISPES in events and rallies from Los Angeles
to Seattle and at the School of the Americas protest in Fort Benning
Georgia, from October 28- November 18! (itinerary here)
