CISPES (Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador) has
a campaign to challenge the U.S. Agency for International Development
on its role in setting up free trade zones in El Salvador while ignoring
labor rights violations in those FTZ's and its role in promoting privatization
of Salvadoran assets such as the phone company, ANTEL. Privatization,
among its other failings, is a major tool for union busting. Another
focus of the campaign, Citibank, is involved in the process of privatizing
ANTEL at the same time that Citibank engages in union busting at home.

The InterReligious Task Force on Central America (IRTF) is a Cleveland-based
interfaith group that promotes peace and human rights in Central America
and Colombia. People of faith and conscience founded IRTF after the
1980 execution of four U.S. church women in El Salvador by U.S.-trained
soldiers. (The Cleveland mission team lost Jean Donovan and Sister
Dorothy Kazel.) Carrying on the legacy of the martyrs, IRTF educates,
advocates, and organizes for peace and human rights, economic justice,
and aid to Central Americans and Colombians. IRTF works to change U.S.
policies, corporate actions, and consumer behaviors that undermine
these aspirations, both here and abroad.
