MEXICO-US SOLIDARITY NETWORK

About This Cause

The Mexico-US Solidarity Network organizes for fundamental social change grounded in democracy, economic justice, human rights and redistribution of power on both sides of the US-Mexico border. The foundations of effective social change are education, community building, and organizing. Education is a collective process that involves an exploration and deepening of knowledge gained from life experiences, and an evaluation/expansion of life horizons. Community building involves the (re)construction of trust and collectivity, with leadership constructed horizontally. Effective organizing includes a conscious evaluation of social problems and collective construction of a new future grounded in empowered and autonomous community.
