Our Romero Fundraiser
Monsignor Óscar Arnulfo Romero was murdered by a death squad on March 24, 1980 in El Salvador. This crime remains unpunished. Even though Tutela Legal has denounced this and questioned the slowness of the Attorney General’s Office (FGR), nothing has changed. Many people still don’t know about Romero’s work and how he became “the voice of the voiceless” for many Salvadorans enduring the repression of the armed forces until the day of his death.
We hope that every year the spirit of saint Romero will bring the U.S.-El Salvador Sister Cities Network together and will encourage all its members and friends to share his legacy. We’re inviting all committees and national members to be part of a joint effort to fundraise any amount that can be used to support the work we want to do with our Salvadoran brothers and sisters in El Salvador and the U.S.
Some examples from 2022 were:
a small brunch among friends
a small gathering after a memorial service in Austin
a presentation of paintings from Arcatao in Madison.
Any amount will do. Join our efforts!
