 Compañeros
is working to secure support from the Durango City Council to resurrect
a forgotten 1998 resolution that created a Community Relations Commission
to address diversity issues. We organize with groups representing
community perspectives that include El Centro de Muchos Colores, Durango Latino Education
Coalition, and PFLAG in support of the commission. We hope the commission
will tackle sensitive civil rights issues, including immigration
and racial profiling, before they bubble up and create dissension
within Durango. |

Reform of America’s immigration laws forms one of the most contentious
national debates. Compañeros supports worker programs
that protect the rights and dignity of workers, insists on the
respect for human rights and civil rights, and opposes the construction
of ecologically destructive border barriers.

Compañeros has created several outlets
for providing information to a wider public audience through
partnerships with local radio  and newspapers.
We have created a two-hour, weekly Radio
Latina program on local station KDUR that provides a forum
for disseminating news and commentary to the community. The
show’s hosts are Latino
immigrants. Listen online www.kdur.org.
We sponsor a regular monthly column on political
change and voting rights in the region’s primary bilingual
newspaper, El Valle Hispanic News.
