2008 Enlace Convention Report
by Alan Howard
ENLACE 10TH ANNIVERSARY CONVENTION
March 7-9, 2008, Mexico City, Mexico
In marking its first decade of existence, Enlace members reached a series of decisions that reflect the growing strength of their organization and its ability to advance their struggles against some of the most powerful corporations in the world.
Given this progress, it was only natural to cast a look back at the origins of the organization to see how it had managed not merely to survive but to continue its dynamic development through a most difficult decade.
2004 Convention Report
Enlace means link in Spanish, and that accurately describes what took place at the Enlace convention in Mexico City on February 27-28, 2004. Eighty-eight representatives from 37 organizations from the U.S., Mexico, and Canada join forces in Mexico City to examine strategies for struggles with transnational corporations, to study organizational regeneration, and to develop approaches for improving relations between worker centers and unions.
The linking of tightly focused organizing campaigns with a broad strategic vision; the linking of groups that organize low-wage workers from the United States, Mexico and Canada; and the linking of theory with practice.
