SISCAP focuses on Latin solidarity
The group was
formed to increase
activity in C1SCAP

A new activist group has
joined the ranks of ASUO
recognized organizations.
Students in Solidarity
with the Central American
People recently received
ASUO approval for student
group.status.
SISCAP’s Eugene parent
organization is the Commit
tee in Solidarity with the
Central American People.
CISCAP member Melanie
Jones said both organiza
tions are activist groups that
work for international is
sues such as human rights,
peace and justice. They also
work for a greater under
standing of the govern
ment’s role in these issues.
The new student group
was formed to increase stu
dent involvement in the
parent group, said SISCAP
member Dana Shabica. The
two groups work closely on
similar issues.
Both groups are “grass
roots organizations that are
working toward creating a
greater cross-border solidar
ity network and passive re
sistance to governmental
and military control,”
Shabica said.
The organizations are
concentrating their efforts
in creating solidarity with
groups in Mexico, Cuba and
Central America. CISCAP
works with groups such as
Frente Autentico de Liber
tad, an indigenous rights
group in Mexico.
Shabica said CISCAP is
currently focusing its ener
gy on the Zapatista revolts
in Chiapas, Mexico, and the
damage done to agricultur
al land due to flooding in
September.
The Zapatistas are mainly
campesino workers from
Chiapas who began to revolt
against the Mexican govern
ment in 1994 after the sign
ing of NAFTA.
"We’re trying to create a
bigger solidarity network
between the United States
and Latin American coun
tries,” Shabica said.
CISCAP and SISCAP give
the Eugene community an
opportunity to learn about
what is going on in the
world and in cultures “that
are just next door,” she said.
Meetings are currently
being held on the second
and fourth Monday of every
month at the CISCAP office
at 458 Blair.

mation about joining either
