Attend a Border Delegation


Workers share experiences with delegates (2005)

Our friends at Austin Tan Cerca de la Frontera (ATCF) produce quarterly delegations to the U.S.-Mexico border to meet volunteers with the maquila workers’ group Comité Fronterizo de Obreras (CFO).   Delegates meet workers in their homes and neighborhoods and hear about their work in the NAFTA factories and express their concerns for better treatment on issues of wages and working conditions.  Departures are from Austin, Texas.

    I am interested in the border delegation in May but would like some more information in terms of what additional costs would be involved, if housing is included and what it consists of, the possibility of scholarship help. What number can I call? or Address to come and bring a check?

      Talk to Ms. Judith Rosenberg, of ATCF, the producers of the delegation. She can answer your questions.
