Today at 6:30pm, Centro Hispano will host a conversation entitled "Railroaded by Nafta, Cafta, and Other Dangerous Ideas". Nancy Garcia from Oaxaca, Mexico, will talk about migrants who risk life and limb on the Central American death train. What must be the economic reality in countries where the risk of rape, kidnapping, and death, are not enough to prevent migrants from going north? Centro Hispano is at 810 West Badger Road off Park Street. This discussion is co-sponsored by Centro Hispano, Community Action on Latin America, and Witness for Peace.
