It is early Saturday and another day of struggle awaits me, but I wanted to get this out before I leave my canton.

All of us should support the Pastors for Peace Caravan and I will try to do what little I can. I will see about a connection for Bibles in Spanish. It would of been good to have a link about the Pastors for Peace Caravan with your Email. Click below!

About us Pastors for Peace

Pastors for Peace has been working in support of people in Chiapas, Mexico for more than a decade.

Pastors for Peace is a special ministry of the Interreligious Foundation for Community Organization, and was created in 1988 to pioneer the delivery of humanitarian aid to Latin America and the Carribean.

Many thousands of people have participated since our founding in more than 40 caravans to Mexico and Central America, 16 to Cuba and many delegations and work brigades. Join us to learn about the reality of the country, make a difference to the people there -- and to your own life!

What is IFCO?

The Interreligious Foundation for Community Organization (IFCO) was founded in 1967 by progressive church leaders and activists. Its purpose: to advance the struggles of oppressed people for justice and self-determination. For almost 40 years, IFCO has assisted the poor and disenfranchised in developing and sustaining community organizations to fight human and civil rights injustices. This work includes education about the realities of the poor in the US and the third world.

Since 1992, IFCO has worked to bring an end to the immoral and unjust US Economic blockade of Cuba and has provided humanitarian aid to the Cuban people through Friendshipment Caravans, construction brigades and educational delegations...

Ajua! I have taken the liberty of reposting and reformatting your Email below for better readability. It is vitally important for all of us to see the interconnectedness of our struggles and slay any feelings of geographical isolation, especially as we wisely utilize Internet techmnology and modern methods of communications media.

All these Email addresses below make timely communications cumbersome and know that whatever goes out over the Internet is up for grabs.

It is vital in these troubled times for all of us humane activists to concentrate on the timely coordination of communications in order to help get the news out about events.

I once again make this appeal to you to join Aztlannet_News Yahoo Group.
