BC CASA is a Vancouver-based volunteer group that works in solidarity with human rights and community organizations in Guatemala. The CCDA is an organization that works to defend the rights of workers on large coffee, sugar and cotton plantations, to recover lands taken from the Mayan communities over the past centuries, and to promote and recover Mayan culture and spirituality. Our goal vis-a-vis BC CASA this year is to support the CCDA’s BC solidarity tour in March. Visit our blog: https://blogs.ubc.ca/geo495 for more information and announcements about events.

We also invite you to purchase Cafe Justicia, which is produced by the CCDA farmers. You may order medium or dark roast, as beans or ground coffee.
