w:st="on">El Salvador</st1:country-region>, the very first official government
recognition of the <i><span style='font-style:italic'>pueblo</span></i>’s
revered martyr for social justice – Monseñor Oscar Arnulfo Romero, the
archbishop of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">El Salvador</st1:country-region></st1:place>.
While conducting mass on March 24, 1980, he was assassinated by State-linked
paramilitary forces for openly denouncing and defying the U.S.-sponsored
Salvadoran government’s bloody war on the poor. Monseñor Romero
believed, <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>“If they kill me, I will be
reborn in the Salvadoran of the people.” </span></b>Thirty
years later, Romero continues to live on in the fighting spirit of the
Salvadoran people, who have advanced the cause of social justice in the face of
<st1:country-region w:st="on">U.S.</st1:country-region> intervention and
destructive economic policies, like the U.S.-Central American Free Trade
Agreement (CAFTA) imposed by the Washington Consensus and <st1:country-region

Since 2005, community organizing efforts have successfully blocked Pacific Rim

department of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Cabañas</st1:City>, <st1:country-region
w:st="on">El Salvador</st1:country-region></st1:place>. In
response to this effective resistance, <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>death

Pacific Rim has retaliated by filing a $77 million dollar lawsuit against <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">El Salvador</st1:country-region></st1:place>
for denying gold mining permits, using CAFTA’s investor protections
provisions.</span></b> The present-day struggle against mining addresses
the very same issues – human rights, land and self-determination –
as the popular struggle that drew violent repression from the Salvadoran State
during the Civil War from 1980-1992, which robbed the lives of Monseñor
Romero and 70,000 Salvadorans.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
