People's Summit spotlights voices, grassroots organizations excluded from Summit of the Americas
President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and local leaders formally opened the 9th Summit of the Americas Wednesday in downtown Los Angeles, but it was met with some opposition.
On Friday, a panel on transnational organizing for labor justice featured speakers from Central America, Mexico and the U.S. covering the intersection of policy, migration and justice."I have solidarity with my brothers and sisters because they are human beings, who in their body's come from various genders and skin pigmentations, but they choose to be freedom fighters, and love warriors, and wounded healers and joy spreaders," said West.
More than 200 groups were represented at the summit from different parts of the world and different cultures, including Anggie Hernandez from Venezuela. She spoke of the impact of U.S. sanctions on women in Venezuela, who are often providers for their families."There has been high levels of participation from different organizations, community members from L.A.," said De La Cruz.
