In honor of the prophetic voice of Oscar Romero—silenced 46 years ago but still speaking truth to power through the resistance movements in El Salvador—we invite you to take part in the following:

A. National Call-In Days to Congress

Our asks to US senators and US representatives are: (1) halt the Trump nominee for ambassador to El Salvador; (2) investigate the Salvadorans who were disappeared into the CECOT prison in March 2025, (3) suspend security assistance to El Salvador in light of well-documented human rights abuses, including possible crimes against humanity.

B. Social Media Days of Action for Political Prisoners

Draw attention to: (1) the dangers that arbitrary arrest and prolonged detention without trial pose to Salvadorans in the US at risk of being deported to El Salvador; (2) the need for solidarity with human rights defender Fidel Zavala and members of the La Floresta environmental defenders; (3) the launch of a new online photo gallery to honor some of the over 400 people who have died in prison since the start of the State of Exception; (4) the call for documentation through interviews with families of those deported to El Salvador since March 2022 about their experiences since being forcibly returned. See tinyurl.com/4bsut3ss or call Professor Sarah Bishop at CUNY: (646) 504-6340.
