I am putting together a website to provide an activist resource for all those living in the UK who are interested in what's going on in Latin America. Current issues include the involvement of the US and EU in the Colombian government's dirty war, dollarisation in Ecuador, El Salvador and Guatemala, the march of neo-liberalism, ecological destruction, indigenous rights and the increasing number of maquiladora sweat shops created to supply Western markets.

The site is specifically for UK groups and how we might exchange information, network and support one another on these vital issues. Remember, the UK's involvement in Latin America is considerable - from BP's funding of death squads to the arms trade. Also, the UK has ten times more investments in Mexico than in Zimbabwe, yet we never hear about what atrocities British fatcats are involved in over there.

There's a lot of work to do, so any input will be greatly appreciated. I've so far put together the section on Plan Colombia, but need help in other areas.

Thanks.

Dan
