The Mexico Solidarity Project breaks the information barrier erected by Western media’s mainstream news sites with reporting and analysis from Mexico’s point of view. The free, weekly bilingual Mexico Solidarity Bulletin interviews activists, advocates and academics who give a personal sense of the people and their social movements. The Mexico Solidarity Media website offers current news and analysis for an English-speaking audience; the podcast Soberanía entertains as it helps us understand Mexico today. The Mexico Labor Solidarity Committee, jointly with the US progressive labor organization Labor Notes, actively engages in supporting democratic independent union organizing for worker power in Mexico.

Meizhu is the US born daughter of Chinese immigrants. She’s been a rank and file union activist, community organizer, and life long socialist. Her belief that everyone is both a teacher and a learner shapes her approach to organizing.
Bruce Hobson, Co-Coordinator
Bruce worked with rural community led health programs in Chiapas. In 1995 he was deported from Mexico for supporting the Zapatista uprising. His internationalism stems from his socialist worldview. He’s a dual US/Mexican citizen, and Guanajuato is his current home.
