Here is quite the controversial article from Truthout.org entitled Southern Command in Costa Rica is US Occupation Disguised as Humanitarian Aid. Here is AM Costa Rica's hit on it, US Marine Invasion is an Example of Fake News.

Good news ... we have more time!

The date has changed to April 6th for the hearing in Perez Zeledon to prohibit the use of agrochemicals in our public spaces!

Please consider attending this most important hearing which will take place on April 6 at 6 pm in the Complejo Cultural (Cultural Center) in San Isidro de El General to request that the municipality of Perez Zeledon pass legislation to prohibit the further use of agrochemicals in the maintenance of our public spaces, including roadsides, schools, etc. This hearing will be conducted in Spanish.

We will need all petitions with signatures turned in by end of March to be able to present them at the hearing. Please write to pzsano@gmail.com if you have petitions to turn in. Every signature counts!

Our aim is to pack the house…so if you feel passionate about this, put it on your calendar and we’ll see you there!

Full information here and we will definitely have the petition to sign at Colibri's Corner this week.
