Salvadoran Student Leaders to Visit LASC
The Latin America Solidarity Committee's (LASC) educational focus this month is El Salvador. At LASC's weekly meeting on Feb. 8, we will show and discuss a video of Mercedes Selgado, representative of El Salvador's FMLN (Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front), speaking about the current crisis in El Salvador and the situation of the popular opposition movement. Feb. 22, we will show and discuss "Making the News Fit," a video about the misleading nature of U.S. press coverage of El Salvador, including news footage and interviews with prominent journalists.
On Friday, Feb. 10, LASC will sponsor a presentation by two leaders of the Salvadoran student movement. Salomon Alfaro Estrada, Secretary General of FERS (Salvadoran Revolutionary Student Front), and Sonia Miranda, Secretary of Public Relations for AGUES (General Association of Salvadoran University Students) will speak about the Salvadoran student movement and the role of students in the popular insurrection, 8 pm in the Kuenzel Room of the Michigan Union.
The LASC film series on Central America and the Caribbean continues. This month's films are "One Way or Another" (Cuba), "Seeds of Revolution," and "Honduras: America's New Policeman" (Honduras), and "In the Name of the People" (El Salvador). All films will be shown Thursdays at 8 pm, and admission is free. Check the AGENDA Calendar for dates and locations of showings.
LASC is committed to education and action in support of the right of self-determination for Latin American peoples. Our activities include education about historical and current realities in the region and the role of U.S. foreign policy in Latin American conflict. We oppose U.S. intervention and work to end sponsored war and repression throughout Latin America. We welcome all who are in general agreement with our ideas to attend our Wednesday weekly meetings at 8 pm in the Michigan Union.
