The InterReligious Task Force on Central America has placed posters around Cleveland reading “Greatly Missed.” These posters tell the stories of victims of police brutality and US state-sponsored violence around the world. The victims include Tamir Rice, Tanisha Anderson, and Michael Brown—killed in recent years by police. They also include Oscar Romero, Jean Donovan, Dorothy Kazel, —disappeared and murdered by graduates of the US-based School of the Americas. Some of the 43 students from the Ayotzinapa Normal School in Guerrero, Mexico are present because of unchecked military assistance to countries with human right violations. Finally, you will see the story of Berta Caceres, Nelson Garcia and Soad Nicole Ham Bustillo, each brutally murdered in Honduras in the past 12 months.
On Sunday March 6th over 500 farmworkers, students, people of faith and consumers came together to lift their voices in a march through downtown Columbus, OH to urge Wendy's to join the Fair Food Program. We were there with a Cleveland group to support the CIW and farmworkers in their fight for their rights.

The InterReligious Task Force on Central America was founded 45 years ago to honor the sacrifice and carry forward the legacy of solidarity of Cleveland’s church women who were raped and murdered in El Salvador. Living out that solidarity is as important now as ever.
