The Cross-Border Network for Justice and Solidarity

The Cross Border Network for Justice and Solidarity is a grassroots organization based in Kansas City which recognizes the common interests of working people in North America and builds ties for common action among them. We seek to overcome the phony competition of the global economy that pits workers and communities against each other in a no-win race to the bottom. Instead we work toward cooperation which enhances both Mexicans' and Americans' ability to win economic and social justice.

Through education, tours, and cooperative work, we are building ties of solidarity involving workers, unions, churches, community organizations, environmentalists and peace and justice advocates. We believe that grassroots solidarity will eventually sift upwards to shape the agendas of larger social change institutions and eventually impact the institutions of power.
