In the context of growing globalization, international grassroots alliances are critical in the struggle for democracy, sovereignty, and economic and political justice.  The Mexico Solidarity Network is committed to developing these grassroots alliances on both sides of the US-Mexico border, and organizing to promote dialogue and collective action for social change.
