CISPES (Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador)
is
the local chapter of a national, grassroots, solidarity
organization.
We have been working since 1980 in solidarity with the FMLN
(Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front) and the Salvadoran
social
justice movement to promote an alternative to the oppressive
US-backed policies of the Salvadoran oligarchy.</font></p>

entirely by grassroots fundraising efforts,
receiving over 95% of funding from individuals. We see
fundraising
as an integral part of organizing, and seek to make our work
self-sustainable by building and maintaining relationships
with a
strong base of politically and socially-aware supporters.</font></font></font></p>
