Transnational Network and Conversations about Salvadoran/Central American Migration

Transnational Network and Conversations about Salvadoran/Central American Migration

By Speaking of Migration Community Engagement Grant Team

Transnational political and economic forces have depleted rural Salvadoran communities, driving Salvadorans to flee and seek refuge and economic opportunities. Then they often also face repression and exploitation beyond their national borders. In the US, we hear about the plight of Salvadoran refugees, but the voices and aspirations of rural communities left in El Salvador are seldom heard. This project will be developing a different kind of transnational network, which begins with the stories and visions from rural Salvadoran communities.
