IRTF-the InterReligious Task Force on Central America, is a grassroots human rights organization that uses popular education, mutual aid and direct action to transform consumer behaviors, corporate and government policies for our collective liberation
Within a few months after that horrific tragedy, people of faith and conscience in Cleveland founded IRTF as a way to carry forward their legacy—taking action in solidarity with oppressed and marginalized communities as they struggle for peace, dignity, and justice.

We will mark the 45th anniversary of the sacrifice of four US women in El Salvador. Jean Donovan and Ursuline Sister Dorothy Kazel (from Cleveland) brutally killed alongside Maryknoll Sisters Ita Ford and Maura Clarke by US-trained and funded military in El Salvador.

The 4th year of the “State of Exception,” has led to more than 400 deaths among the 90k+ incarcerated in a massive arrest sweep by police+military, which includes the indefinite detention of political dissidents. El Salvador now has the highest incarceration rate in the world, even more than the US.

Sebastián Torogós will talk about the incredible challenges facing the people of El Salvador and the connection to their collective memory of the war years of the 1970s and ‘80s. The country is experiencing its most severe threats to democracy since the civil war ended in 1992.

They'll claim otherwise, but that's the reality — today's decision permits Trump to send people from countries around the world to any global hellhole that accepts a U.S. financial incentive.
