Together they work as community members & activists to educate and promote awareness about the maquiladoras, maquila workers, globalization impacts on their border communities, gender/labor/health issues, trade, social/economic/environmental justice, human rights & movements of maquiladora workers.

Come and learn about all of these very important issues from the maquiladora workers and activists working with these organizations at the Mexico border.

The Centro de Informacion para Trabajadoras y Trabajadores (The Workers' Information Center/CITTAC) is a non-governmental organization of women and men from Baja California, Mexico that promotes, publicizes, supports and accompanies workers' struggles -- especially within the maquiladora industry -- to better their labor and living conditions, defend their human rights (especially those related to labor and gender), and create autonomous and democratic organizations.

The San Diego Maquiladora Workers' Solidarity Network is a bi-national effort to support the struggle of Mexican workers in Baja California, to promote the bi-national friendship and solidarity between San Diego and Baja California workers and to circulate news about work conditions and movements of maquiladora workers and promote actions in solidarity for their struggles.
