We are living in an era of generalized crisis at a global level, evident in all areas of life: environmental, economic, social, educational, food, health, demographic, epistemic and existential. This civilizational crisis that humanity is facing puts at risk the planetary ecosystem balance and the world as we know it.
Many people feel immersed in a globalized-capitalist and patriarchal economic system-without a way out; It would seem that any attempt to stop the great capital locomotive results in recession, unemployment and social crisis, so it is better to maintain course and speed, although the precipice is getting closer.
What we do The Center engages in local community support and outreach to promote and advance initiatives and movements toward social justice, grassroots empowerment and democracy, and environmental sustainability. It is also devoted to critical analysis of the processes and impacts of globalization, both local and international. The Center works to develop alternative socio-economic systems that conserve and share the world’s cultural, economic, and environmental resources for the benefit of humankind.
