Chavismo

Sandinismo

The Sandinismo movement is very dear to me because my father grew up while the movement occurred. Having visited Nicaragua several of times I am still able to see the impact that the Sandinista's had and continue to have. One cannot understand the significance and impact of these movements without having to experienced it.

Brazil Landless Movement

EZLN

Human Rights Movement-

Mothers of Plaza de Mayo in Argentina

In Latin America there have been countless movements in which many men and women lost their lives fighting for a greater cause. The feminine movements have allowed women to receive the equal rights and respect. The environmental movements have allowed for the preservation of important land features, racial movements have given people the freedom and comfort of accepting their culture. In retrospect you can not help but wonder what Latin America would be now if these social movements never happened.
