WHO WE MEET

"It is important to think about development. The current model of development is putting human beings in danger. Perhaps some of you feel that the fight it is far from here. It is not. The planet we have is only one. We need to connect our voices of the south and north to protect our planet."

 

Miriam Miranda, OFRANEH Honduras

When you join a Solidarity Collective delegation, you meet Indigenous, African-descendant and Campesino peace-builders, learn from community leaders, investigate current topics, and experience the realities and impacts of U.S. foreign policies and corporate practices.

​

Each Solidarity Collective delegation itinerary is unique; however, many topics are regular features. However, most of the itinerary of every trip relates directly to the delegation theme; the rest is made up of meetings on a range of engaging and intersectional issues.
