How will you help bring the voices of people in Latin America into the debate in the United States?

Take the Pledge now! Why?

• Because those affected by U.S. policies abroad do not have a vote in the U.S. political system, but they are certainly entitled to a voice;
• Because US corporations are changing the very way people think about our natural resources and undermining people's confidence in public systems;
• Because some US policies have run over communities' concerns and the environment;
• Because economic policies have forced people to travel many miles from home;
• Because new technology and old-fashioned organizing can be linked to create a powerful new platform that can bring together citizen-to-citizen education and action between the U.S. and Latin America.
• Because worldwide there is a need for all people to respect and listen to each other; and
• Because solutions to these complex problems require people acting together and standing up for justice.

I pledge to

1.) Opt for policies toward Latin America which respect countries’ sovereignty and human rights; and

2.) Support a citizens’ vision of “democracy” that goes beyond elections, to the right and capacity of citizens in all countries to understand and shape the public decisions that affect their lives; and

3.) To take action: by sharing stories of how U.S. policies affects people’s lives in Latin America with friends, writing a letter to the editor, talking with your national representatives about Latin American policy, of something else.  Please write your action in the space below.
