| Friends, supporters,
partners and everyone out there who
is cheering us on. |
|
| We have some changes
to tell you about, but first we want
to assure everyone that the Resource
Center of the Americas is still dedicated
to its mission of informing, educating
and organizing to promote humans rights,
democratic participation, economic justice
and cross-cultural understanding. |
|
It has been necessary
to say a lot of painful good-byes to
staff, friends, the café, the
library and bookstore. We have so many
memories and
good wishes.
We have a new
board of directors that is dedicated
to continuing the work of the Resource
Center and even expanding it to reach
out in partnerships.
Follow this link to see some of our
current partners. |

Our focus for the
next few months will be setting up a
new office in the basement of the Resource
Center Building and getting organized.
At the same time we are working on concrete
actions plans. Today we are faced with
issues and conflicts related to immigration
and the ongoing challenges of poverty
and human rights in the Americas. These
are issues we intend to address. |
