[RED DEMOCRATICA] Join Us at Ecumenical Advocacy Days

 

Ecumenical Advocacy Days 2011 Join us at Ecumenical Advocacy Days 2011! Dear Supporter, Whether they are presidents, mothers, community leaders or artists, women play a central role in social and economic change in Latin America, even as they regularly face discrimination and violence. In a region known for its machismo, many of the real stories behind ongoing social movements feature women leaders who have organized their communities to defend their rights. That’s why we’re so excited to invite you to join us in Washington, DC on March 25-28th for Ecumenical Advocacy Days 2011 as we bring women and men from across Latin America and the United States to talk about Development, Security and Economic Justice: What’s Gender Got to Do with It? Click here to sign up in the next two days to get the early registration discount! (Regular registration will remain open until right before the conference.) At Ecumenical Advocacy Days this year, you’ll have the chance to hear from extraordinary women from Colombia, Honduras, Mexico, and Guatemala who have dedicated themselves to building peace and campaigning for justice. From first-hand accounts, you’ll learn about the insecurity women face in post-earthquake Haiti and the gender-based violence that migrant women and girls experience while traveling through Mexico. And after taking all this in, we’ll arrange for you to talk with your members of Congress about what they can do to support brave women around the world working for equality and peace. Register today to save your spot! You won’t want to miss out on this great lineup of workshops: •    Migrant Women: Challenges–and Hope–at Each Step in their Journey •    Women Resisting Militarization through Faith Communities in Colombia •    Our Bodies Are Still Trembling: Haitian Women Continue to Fight Against Rape •    U.S.-Latin America Relations: Connecting Policy with People •    Honduras: Women Organize for Justice •    Women Confronting Violence and Impunity in Guatemala •    Building Solidarity to End Violence against Women Human Rights Defenders in Mesoamerica To see full descriptions and speakers for these workshops, click here.

If you want to go beyond Latin America, you can also choose from more than 45 workshops in the entire conference covering a plethora of domestic and international issues. So take a moment to explore the EAD website, invite your friends and family, and register now for this special weekend. We're looking forward to seeing you March 25-28th at Ecumenical Advocacy Days 2011! Best, Vanessa, Ben, & the LAWG Team P.S.
