The Mexico Solidarity Project is powered by those who voluntarily contribute their energy and expertise. It’s a labor of love that reflects our love of labor — on both sides of the border. Our participants come from varied backgrounds, but all share a life mission dedicated to ending global capitalist domination and exploitation, especially by the nation that many of us call home, the United States.
Meizhu Lui, Co-Coordinator
Lui’s experiences as the daughter of Chinese immigrants and as a single mom led her to focus on addressing inequalities based on race, gender, and immigration status. A hospital kitchen worker, she was elected president of her AFSCME local. She coordinated the national Closing the Racial Wealth Gap Initiative, and co-authored The Color of Wealth: The Story Behind the U.S. Racial Wealth Divide. Liberation Road, a socialist organization, has been her political home. meizhu@mexicosolidarityproject.org
Bruce Hobson, Co-Coordinator
Bruce Hobson has lived and worked in Mexico at several points in his life. Now a Permanent Resident of Mexico, the city of Guanajuato is his home. For many years he worked in community- based rural health programs and directed a health and rehab program in Chiapas — until he was deported by the PRI government after the Zapatista uprising. He served as an international observer to Mexico’s midterm election on June 6, 2021. As our main translator, his bilingual skills are essential to building cross-border solidarity.

A clerical worker for 35 years in San Francisco and Oakland until her retirement, she is now bringing her editing skills to the MSB.
