Grassroots Organizing and Economic Justice
We hope for an El Salvador where poor communities have access and guaranteed rights to basic needs such as food, water, secured human rights, dignified housing, employment opportunities, education, and the right to vote. The increasing climate of corporate globalization threatens this vision as small farmers and the urban poor are forced to compete with multinational corporations flooding products into El Salvador at cheaper prices. People in El Salvador today are facing levels of poverty more extreme than during the civil war of the 1980s and early 1990s and they need our solidarity now more than ever to face these new challenges. Globalization requires a global response.
 SHARE is working hard to educate and support education of people in the US , as well as in El Salvador , about economic justice issues. Through cross-border education and unification, we can support Salvadorans in their efforts to achieve access to basic rights and resources. We in the US can play an important role in this by advocating on behalf of our partnering regions and communities in El Salvador here at home so that when our government gives support to El Salvador it is responsible and useful aid.
