Description:

A Witness For Peace Delegation Reflection "Roots of Migration and Marginalization" More than a dozen years after the passage of NAFTA what are the impacts of a free trade agreement between a developing country and the world’s largest economy? This was ten-day delegation, where we experienced, first hand how U.S. economic policies impact Mexicans and “push” them to cross the border illegally. We, now, better understand the role of corporate globalization has on the indigenous community. We will be in Mexico during a pivotal time. The Zapatista-initiated “Other Campaign” just ended and the Presidential elections happened. This delegation was exciting, educational, and most of all, transformational.
