Dear Friend, I am happy to invite you to two upcoming opportunities to engage with Grassroots International: an invitation to apply to join our delegation to Brazil this July as well as a Solidarity Encounter about Haiti's security quandary. | |
Grassroots International's 2024 donor-activist delegation to Brazil will include a visit to the national convening of the Landless Workers Movement as well as visits with other movement partners. I am reaching out to you as I thought you might be interested in this opportunity to engage deeper with our work. The dates, including travel, are July 11-21, and the theme is Social Movements in Action. There will be a virtual open house to learn more/ask questions on Tuesday, March 12 from 2-3 PM ET/ 11 AM- 12 PM PT. To register for the open house, click here. To learn more about the opportunity and what to expect on the trip, please review this FAQ. | |
Join us for a crucial webinar on the current security situation in Haiti, as viewed through the lens of grassroots social movements on the ground. Against the backdrop of a deteriorating security situation that has left citizens, especially those in peri-urban and rural areas, in a state of desperation, there are calls for foreign intervention to support the Haitian police in addressing these challenges. Hear directly from leaders of Haiti’s oldest and highly respected social movements about why they vehemently oppose foreign intervention. -
