CISPES: Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador

Desde los Estados Unidos, el Comite en Solidaridad con el Pueblo de El Salvador (CISPES) nos unimos al luto colectivo ante el asesinato este 14 de septiembre del compañero Juan López y expresamos nuestra solidaridad con la comunidad de Guapinol y su lucha incansable para defender el agua y sus tierras.

Salvadoran social movements marked the country’s Independence Day on Sunday by marching to demand an end to government corruption and human rights abuses. A broad coalition of unions, feminist organizations, human rights groups, and anti-corruption organizations made up the thousands-strong march, signaling growing discontent in light of recent corruption scandals and despite systematic attempts to repress the opposition.
