International Service for Peace

SIPAZ is a program of international observation that had its beginning in 1995, following the Zapatista uprising in 1994.  It was formed to monitor the conflict in Chiapas, México.  Today SIPAZ supports the search for nonviolent solutions that contribute to the construction of a just peace through building tolerance and dialogue among the actors in Chiapas as well as, increasingly, in other areas in México (Oaxaca and Guerrero).  At the same time, SIPAZ serves as a bridge for communication and the sharing of information and experiences among organizations and networks that work toward the building of a just and lasting peace at a local, national, regional, and international level.

 

Mexico Solidarity Network

The Mexico Solidarity Network struggles for democracy, economic justice and human rights on both sides of the United States-Mexico border.  Civil society must take the leading role in fomenting social change by developing democratic spaces and empowered communities that are outside of party/establishment structures, but always interacting with those structures.  The Mexico Solidarity Network is a grassroots-based organization dedicated to profound social change that challenges existing power relationships and builds alternatives.

NACLA provides policy makers, analysts, academics, organizers, journalists, and religious and community groups with information on major trends in Latin America and its relations with the United States.     

 

Universal Center for Language and Communication School

Universal offers Spanish language programs specifically tailored to meet the needs of each individual student.  The structure of the courses is dependent upon the level of Spanish each student has acquired, and the available time he or she has to study.  Spanish courses are offered at a variety of levels, individually, or in groups, and are complemented by lectures on a variety of topics concerning Mexico and Latin America.
