LASC Walks For Justice

On Oct. 29, Latin American Solidarity Committee (LASC) will hold a walk-a-thon to raise money for the people of El Salvador. The walk-a-thon will be part of a national series of over 50 such events sponsored by the Committee in Solidarity with the People of EL Salvador (CISPES). One of the two specific projects for which LASC will raise money is the Association of Women of the Marginalized Communities (AMMA), which fosters programs and collects resources empowering Salvadoran women to play active and meaningful roles in El Salvador's struggle for justice. The other is Community Youth Council (CJC), which fights against the Army's forced recruitment of Salvadoran youth and for an alternative educational infrastructure in which young Salvadorans can experience and share their indigenous culture. LASC encourages all concerned Ann Arborjtes to walk with us for a free El Salvador. The walk-a-thon begins at the Diag at 1 pm. For more information, contact Mike Fischer at 665-2709.

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 U.S.-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. Ask for the room number at the information desk in the lobby.
