During the last few years, Latin American struggles have become one symbol of workers, indigenous communities and marginalised sectors being clearly conscious of their historical role, and acting on it. And where their resistances and struggles have attracted people from other parts of the world.

In Australia many activists have identified this and have sought to create links of solidarity and struggle with grassroots organisati...ons in Latin America that, with creativity and commitment, are pushing for deep changes in their respective countries.
