MPC is a Joining Hands Church in a Joining Hands Presbytery, which is linked with Bolivia. As Joining Hands, we respond to calls for action from other Joining Hands countries. Our newest country, El Salvador, is asking for help. Commerce Group is a mining operation that has done a lot of damage in the watersheds of El Salvador. After two environmental audits, El Salvador decided to stop the mining, and told Commerce Group to clean up and go home. Using the investor-state provisions of CAFTA, Commerce Group sued El Salvador for $100 million. The World Band tribunal, ICSID, refused to take the case. Commerce Group is trying again. Please find and sign the petition to ask Commerce Group to stop the suit, clean up and go home. These other links provide more information, or contact Jean Norris.
