  Witness for Peace Mexico Works in the Following Regions:
Oaxaca 
Oaxaca is a state in southern Mexico with one of the largest indigenous populations in the country. Its rural population has been devastated by corn imported from the United States as a result of NAFTA. Many small farmers from Oaxaca have few options but migration. Learn about the complexities of this state and the movements being formed to make a better world possible!
Chiapas 
Chiapas is the southernmost state in Mexico and it borders on Guatemala. While beautiful and bountiful in resources, it is also one of the poorest regions in Mexico and has conflicts dating back to the arrival of the Spanish. Learn why Chiapas has become a center of regional, national and international activism in the past decades.
Mexico City 
One of the largest cities in the world, and the capital of the republic, Mexico City has everything. It is a hub for hundreds of NGOs, and a center for political and grassroots activity.
Tlaxcala 
In this central Mexican state, communities are working for sustainable agricultural and alternative economic models which form an important part of the resistance to neoliberalism. Hear directly about these models from the people who are creating them.
Puebla 
Puebla has become central Mexico's hub for export-oriented factories, known as maquiladoras. The apparel and auto parts industries employ thousands in the state. Meet with NGOs and workers struggling for their rights in a globalized world.
