Marching to Fulfill the Dream: In the face of the Global Crisis, Campaign Will Mobilize Thousands to Claim Economic Rights
“Martin Luther King dreamed not only of racial justice, but of organizing across racial lines to secure economic justice for all. In 1998 the Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign (PPEHRC) picked up the mantle of MLK and vowed to work until the dream was fulfilled. If you think we’re there, you can ignore this. But if you’re hurting, or your mother or your brother or your neighbor or friend is hurting, put on your walking shoes,” said Cheri Honkala, National Organizer of the Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign (PPEHRC).At its national conference in July, nearly 400 representatives of PPEHRC member organizations voted to organize the next phase of the campaign—a march from the Katrina-torn Gulf through the Mississippi Delta and on through the Rust Belt.
Perú: Dos años de olvido, la reconstrucción no avanza
Comunicado de la ASOCIACION DE MUNICIPALIDADES AFECTADAS POR EL TERREMOTO DEL SUR (A M U P A T)Llegamos al segundo año del fatídico terremoto que dejó dolor y mayor pobreza en los pueblos del sur. El gobierno difunde avisos en la televisión con grandes cifras de dinero supuestamente gastado y de cientos de proyectos que habrían sido ejecutados. Sin embargo las familias afectadas no ven esas obras difundidas por los medios oficiales. Aún más, hoy, apresurada y demagógicamente se anuncia la existencia de nuevos recursos que sólo están en los papeles. Basta ya de tanto engaño e indolencia ante la tragedia. AMUPAT demanda el cumplimiento de los compromisos asumidos formalmente por el Poder Ejecutivo.
