![El Salvador in Focus](images/fileicons/nodigital.png)
The government of El Salvador votes to continue a “state of siege” despite internal opposition. The state suspends constitutional rights and expands the power of the military. Unions in El Salvador call for a political solution and the integration of FMLN into a new democratic government. Meanwhile, in the U.S. opposition to U.S. military assistance and financial aid grows, perhaps catalyzed by the recent murder of 6 Jesuit priests. Bills to end aid have been introduced to Congress, one sponsored by John Kerry and Edward Kennedy. Don White, an organizer for the Los Angeles chapter of the Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador (CISPES), comments on the developments in Congress and on the work that CISPES is doing.

Pledge of Resistance leads other organizations including the Bay Area Religious Task Force, Center for International Solidarity with the People of El Salvador, and Trece to occupy the El Salvador Consulate in San Francisco, commemorating the anniversary of the brutal murder of six Jesuit priests and two women. Protesters drop a banner from the consulate's balcony and occupy the front offices, calling for an end to US backed Death Squad violence in El Salvador, the overthrow of the ARENA government, and an end to US intervention in Central America. Several members of the demonstration chain themselves to the desks and chairs in the office, while other protesters demonstrate outside of the consulate.
