What can I do?
Almost every garment sewn in El Salvador's sweatshops is
sold in the United States. The sweatshop owners need the US
market to survive. This gives us tremendous power.
Join CISPES
CISPES is a national organization of concerned US
citizens offering solidarity and support to the people of El
Salvador. In the 1980's CISPES mobilized hundreds of
thousands of people against Washington's war in Central
America. Now in peacetime CISPES is supporting the
Salvadoran people in their struggle for economic justice.
CISPES has over 20 chapters throughout the US.
Build Stable
Communities
US AID built the Free Trade Zones in El Salvador.
Now we must pressure AID to live
up to its legal responsibility, and assure that labor rights
are enforced. We are also
pressuring the Salvadoran
government directly. Join the Worker Rights Campaign!

Empower Garment Workers
Women's groups are training women workers to defend
their labor rights. Meanwhile, labor unions are broadcasting
the country's little-known labor laws so everyone learns
what they are. CISPES is raising $20,000 to help the
Salvadoran labor movement carry out these two projects.
