End U.S. Military & Security Aid to El Salvador & Central America!
Make a call or send an email to Congress today
The people of El Salvador are currently living under a State of Exception in which constitutional rights have been suspended, including freedom of assembly and the right to defense. Thus far, over 70,000 people, predominantly from poor neighborhoods that have been militarized, have been rounded up.
Meanwhile, President Bukele has given the green light for abuse of force to police and military and has pledged to deny prisoners access to basic rights, including food, in his proclaimed War on Gangs.
Since Bukele came into office, the size and scope of the military has expanded dramatically - a direct violation of the 1992 Peace Accords - including a military budget higher than any point during the 12-year civil war.
Since 2021, Salvadorans have been mobilizing mass protests to denounce the government’s attacks against the Peace Accords and on democracy itself, with youth and feminist organizations leading a courageous movement against militarization.
International solidarity is urgent, especially since the U.S. remains the largest foreign supporter of the Salvadoran military and police. That’s why solidarity, faith and human rights organizations and progressive Members of Congress are calling to withhold military and police aid and training to El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala, where human rights abuses at the hands of U.S. trained security forces continue in impunity.
Congress is currently putting together their budget proposal for the coming year. That’s why we need to flood them now with demands to stop providing military and security aid that fuels repression in Central America. Send an email today!
