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.

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.

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.
