The Latin America Solidarity Coalition (LASC) is an association of national and local US-based grassroots Latin America and Caribbean solidarity groups. LASC’s goal is to serve as a sustainable point of political convergence to help build a truly progressive Latin America solidarity movement. We constitute a collective and democratic working space for collaboration, networking and the building of broad-reaching political organizing and mobilizing capacity in support of the people of Latin America struggling for justice and a better future for their countries free of economic, military and cultural imperialism.

"International solidarity is not an act of charity:
It is an act of unity between allies fighting on
different terrains toward the same objective.
The foremost of these objectives is to aid the
development of humanity to the highest level possible."
- Samora Machel (1933 - 1986)
Leader of FRELIMO,
First President of Mozambique
