Join our National Call-In Day!

Congress is putting together next year's budget - and contemplating a $4 billion proposal from President Biden to supposedly address the root causes of migration from Central America.

Without strong collective action, this will mean MORE money for militarization and economic policies that will continue to displace people from their lands and communities.

As CISPES, we are profoundly saddened by the murder of Victoria Esperanza Salazar Arriaza at the hands of police in Tulum, Mexico. We extend our love, solidarity, and deepest condolences to Victoria’s family, including her two young daughters and her mother, as well as to her friends, community and all those who are grieving her death.
