Solidarity with the CCDA and the Juracán Family

In addition to producing Café Justicia, our delicious house coffee, the Campesino Committee of the Highlands (CCDA) has long inspired us with their organizing for the land rights of Guatemala's indigenous majority.  Now, the National Coordinator of the CCDA, Leocadio Juracán, has been forced to leave Guatemala with his family as a result of death threats related to the CCDA's political work.  Come meet Leocadio and the rest of the Juracán family, welcome them to Vancouver, and brainstorm ways we can support them during their time here.  Hear updates on the CCDA's work and related political persecution, discuss possibilities for international solidarity, and drink some Café Justicia to help keep the CCDA strong.

By donation, all to support the CCDA and the Juracan family
