Multi-National Delegation to Chiapas
July 2-9, 1999

Stand in solidarity with our indigenous brothers and sisters in
Chiapas, Mexico, in their struggle for autonomy, democracy,
dignity and justice.  Concerned citizens from throughout the
Americas will join indigenous communities in Chiapas as their
invited guests.  Last year's multi-national delegation drew 86
participants from six countries. 

Participants will spend two days in San Cristobal de las Casas
learning about the current situation in Chiapas from human rights
experts, religious leaders and analysts.  Delegates will split
into small groups and visit indigenous communities throughout the
state.  Learn firsthand from people involved in a profound
struggle for land, democracy and justice.  Learn about the impact
of US economic and military policies on our neighbors to the
south.  A report prepared by the delegation will provide a
panorama of conditions in every corner of Chiapas.  The report
will be distributed to members of Congress, the media and
grassroots constituencies.  The cost of $400 (plus plane fare)
includes most food, hotels, ground transportation, translation
and program.  To make plane reservations, please contact Scott at
800-328-1332. 

A limited number of scholarships are available for youth of color
under the age of 30.  The deadline for scholarship applications
is June 1, 1999.
