Welcome to Voices from Latin America!

We believe the United States can listen to the voices of people in Latin America. What our government does, what U.S. corporations do, what we do has a huge impact on real people around the world. This is particularly true of our neighbors right next door, in Latin America. That's why we, and our government, need to listen to what those neighbors have to say.

We believe that there is a new awakening in the United States. People across the country are beginning to learn more about and take action on our foreign policy. Educate yourself about realities of how US foreign policy affects people in Latin American. Use the testimonials here to advocate policies that are more just, fair and reasonable. The demand for change must come from the American people, and citizen participation in this election is crucial.

We believe that YOUR demand can shift the positions that our elected officials take. We need YOU to take action for strong leadership roles on issues of economic justice and a new relationship with Latin America (immigration, trade and the war on drugs).

This is the moment to get involved:

• Watch and read the Voices testimonials and share them with your neighbors (link)
• Ask questions of the candidates.
  
• Take it to the press - write a letter to the editor.
• This is your movement too. What skills, talents, and creative energy can you bring to it? See some successful actions that have been taken. Get inspired by stories of successful U.S.-Latin American activism.
  

Finally, if you are already active on Latin American policy, please tell us! We would love to get the word out about your efforts. Thanks!
