Salvadorans Fought For This

On this episode, Yvette interviews Yesenia Portillo of CISPES: the Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador, to critique Biden's plan for Central America. They break down how the private-public partnerships proposed in Biden's plan do not address the root causes of migration, emphasize the history of Salvadorans advocating for themselves and calling on international solidarity that resulted in the CISPES organization, and praise the "radical roots" delegations of CISPES that involve diaspora returning to El Salvador for political education purposes.  Here is a google doc of resources to learn more about what was discussed in this episode, courtesy of Yesenia Portillo: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Vxj9uTYnPaNTqMXG2O8Ay3bZ9mFWbIH0km9IqdKE6P8/edit (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Vxj9uTYnPaNTqMXG2O8Ay3bZ9mFWbIH0km9IqdKE6P8/edit) Learn more about CISPES at: http://cispes.org/ (cispes.org) Follow CISPES on insta @cispes_solidarity and Twitter @CISPES
