The Salvadoran People Are Under Attack!

On July 2, fourteen people were arrested in Suchitoto, El Salvador for protesting against the privatization of water. 13 of them are now being tried as TERRORISTS. Under the new "anti-terrorism law", they could face 60 years in jail for the act of protest. (read more at http://www.cispes.org)

CISPES is mobilizing a National Week of Action in solidarity with the start of their trial. Join us on Tuesday, October 9 to demand:

-Drop all charges against the Suchitoto-13. Organizing is not a crime.

-Stop the privatization of water. Water is a human right!

-Repeal the anti-terrorism law immediately!

The trial starts next week so it is a critical time to mobilize. As we know from the leftist social movement sweeping Latin America, there is strength in numbers!

Tuesday, October 9 at 12 noon. Rally and press conference at the Salvadoran Consulate, 507 Polk Street (at Golden Gate) in San Francisco. Let's magnify our voices and get our demands directly to the Salvadoran government.

Please call us and let us know if you can participate or give a statement of solidarity to our compañeros and compañeras.

If you can't make it on Tuesday, please join us for a big day of outreach on Saturday, October 6, 11: 00 am. Street theater and action at 24th and Mission, in San Francisco. Help us launch the Pledge of Protest to halt U.S.-backed repression and militarization! (see http://www.cispes.org)

Call CISPES at (415) 503-0789 with questions or for more information about how you can get involved. Please spread the word!
