The Plan Puebla Panama is a corporate–driven development plan for Southern Mexico and Central America, an area also known as Mesoamerica, home to 64 million people.

In this 40–page booklet you will learn that:

In Guatemala, almost half of the surviving rainforest is threatened by this plan;

In Honduras, the proposed dam on the Honduras–El Salvador border will force more than 40,000 people to abandon their lands and their ancestors' graves;

In Nicaragua, dry canal investors are ready to flaunt the Constitution and the rights of local people;

... and much more

It includes

a map of Mesoamerica with the PPP highway and electricity network projects,

an extensive list of websites of organizations working against different aspects of the PPP,

the Declaration of the IV Mesoamerican Forum "For self determination and peoples' resistance", that took place in Tegucigalpa, Honduras in July 2003.

This booklet is a collaborative effort of the Network Opposed to Plan Puebla Panama (NO–PPP).

The Social Justice Committee is a member of the Network Opposed to Plan Puebla Panama (NO–PPP), an umbrella group of Northern organizations working to stop the PPP and the model of corporate globalization behind it. Members of the NO–PPP collaborate with grassroots organizations and anti–PPP movements in Mesoamerica. One of the goals of the NO–PPP is to build strategic alliances to support movements in Mesoamerica by acting in the North (U.S./Canada/Europe) to stop the PPP.
