La Lima, Honduras, 2002: Banana workers organizing to form SITRAMBA with the help of STITCH.
DONATE TO HELP WOMEN IN CENTRAL AMERICA CONTINUE FIGHTING FOR ECONOMIC JUSTICE IN THE WORKPLACE
Women in Central America and the U.S. face similar challenges in the workplace, especially when it comes to low wages, discrimination, insufficient childcare services and dangerous working conditions.
To change these shared conditions, STITCH unites Central American and U.S. women workers to exchange strategies on how to fight for economic justice in the workplace. STITCH equips women with the essential skills through trainings and educational tools, and in the process, builds lasting relationships with women across the two regions, further empowering women in the labor movement. STITCH also ensures women’s voices are heard in global debates and discussions on issues that impact them: globalization, trade agreements, immigration policy, and global labor standards.

In order to keep up the good work STITCH needs your support. Please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to this kick-butt organization and help me reach my goal of raising $500 for the organization within the next two weeks. We know times are tough, but really any little bit will help. - Maricela Donahue
