Hello Everyone!
We recently had our first meeting of the quarter. We will be having weekly meetings this quarter, during which time we will address current business/events as well as discussing and taking action against current injustices. Next week we will focus on how CAFTA (U.S.-Central American Free Trade Agreement) may affect the human rights of Central American and U.S. citiztens. The following are some resources concerning CAFTA:
