How to find your representative:
https://writerep.house.gov/writerep/welcome.shtml
But don’t just write to them here, call and set up an in person appointment!
If you never did that before, it’s easy: say this…..
“Hello, I want to thank the rep for their work on human rights and would like on Dec 10th International Human Rights Day, to discuss Plan Mexico, Latin America, and the Caribbean etc”
And then contact us for more info if needed (and to let us know what district you’ve called – whether or not a meeting w/Reps is scheduled).
Call and set up a December 10th appointment with your Representative’s D.C. and/or District Offices this week.
Under the guise of the ‘war on drugs’, the Merida Initiative threatens Mexico, Latin America and the Caribbean with a return to 80s style counter- insurgency targeted at activists like us throughout the hemisphere, namely those that dissent, challenge domination and oppression and offer more fair alternatives to live together – e.g. labor, anti-neoliberal trade, indigenous rights activists.
Volunteer to lobby rally, meet, forum or create an event in your local community. Add your issue to the agenda!
We need local volunteers across the country!
