>From Vancouver to El Salvador and back again: International Solidarity, the FMLN and the Recent Elections in El Salvador 

Where: 419-119 West Pender Street 

When: Thursday, April 13, 7-9 

Join the Bus Riders Union and the FMLN for a night of discussion and report backs from the recent elections in El Salvador. Beth Grayer from the Bus Riders Union and members of the FMLN, recently returned from El Salvador, will share their thoughts about how we can bring lessons from El Salvador home to Vancouver. 

The FMLN is the leftist, popular party in El Salvador, working to gain electoral power for the people of El Salvador.  Through the mobilization of thousands of people, the FMLN won several key municipalities, including San Salvador, in the March 2006 elections.  

The Bus Riders Union is a Vancouver based grassroots organization fighting to put the needs of transit-dependent people, who are majority women and disproportionately people of colour and aboriginal people, at the centre of public policy.  The BRU invites you to partake in our discussion evening about the importance of the FMLN in El Salvador and the importance of taking inspiration from their work, as we continue to organize here in Vancouver.   

This is a free event, and snacks will be served. Everyone is welcome!
