At the present time I work as Program Coordinator of American Friends Service
Committee-TAO (Texas, Arkansas and Oklahoma). The content of our Program is based on popular education methodology
and techniques, as follows:
Latin America and the Caribbean Education and Solidarity
-- The Latin American/Caribbean program educates the public on the
US role in militarization throughout Latin America and the Caribbean,
and the relationships between economic policies, military repression
and immigration.
Movement Support for Organizers -- The Movement
Support program offers technical assistance and training to organizations
of low-income, such as women of color and the local immigrant community
as they develop skills and resources to accomplish their long-term
organizational goals.
Democratizing the Global
Economy: AFSC-TAO is engaged in a national AFSC initiative called
the Democratizing the Global Economy Project, with a particular focus
on trade as it relates to debt, labor and immigration. The objectives
of this project are to draw on the strengths of AFSC offices currently
working on issues related to the global economy, to develop training
and educational materials to share with other AFSC offices and to
do public outreach on trade issues, specifically related to the proposed
Free Trade Area of the Americas.
