HELP STOP RAIDS ON IMMIGRANT WORKERS
Every week in nearby places like Albion, Batavia, Sotus, farmworkers are being picked up by I.C.E., the border patrol or local police. They are jailed and deported, often breaking up families and social and religious communities. Their crime is coming here to harvest for us the food we eat, and trying to support their families.

Clinic named after Tom Potts

Tom Potts stands by a plaque naming in his honor the free dental clinic in Chenalhó  (Chiapas, Mexico) where he has volunteered for over 20 years. The plaque reads: “The clinic has gone on functioning with the support of the Latin American Solidarity Committee of the Western New York Peace Center, U.S.A. and in colaboration with the voluntary committee of this town.”

Church/Community Center in Chixiltón

In the same area of Highland Chiapas a community is building a gathering place with help from donations raised by LASC.

The salvation theology community seeks peace and justice for indigenous people in this southern Mexican state.

Each family in this subsistence farming community has donated $100 and their labor to the building of the church.
