Support Continues to Build for Salvador Gang Truce

Mainstream progressive groups in Washington are backing a Central American gang peace process for the first time, as an El Salvador truce between Mara Salvatrucha and 18th Street continues into its sixth month. The Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA) and the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) are sponsoring an October 2 seminar to hear an eyewitness report from a transnational group formed to promote the Salvadoran process.
