Cultural Survival aims to strengthen Indigenous women radio journalists’ leadership and improve their participation in decision-making spaces. Three years ago, we initiated a project "for a more visible world in an invisible world", a process of capacity building and accompaniment in community radio journalism with an intercultural approach to gender adapted to the reality of Central America. In late 2018, we extended the project to Colombia and Mexico.

“Only stories help us break through old roles that normalize domination, and Hedgebrook is a global campfire.”

“The notable veterans who have died should be genuinely remembered and celebrated. The ones who are blessed enough to be alive and or return home as wounded warriors should be cared for forever. Their spirit was given to uphold this country’s freedom and yours. Those who are walking around may look well, but many are not. There’s a lot this country should do for those past and present.”-- Chief Sachem Vernon “Silent Drum“ Lopez
We will not be left behind! Indigenous people stand up against exclusion.
My name is Ali Gonzalez from the Indigenous Boruca community in the south of Costa Rica. I am a one of Cultural Survival’s Indigenous Community Media Youth Fellows. I had the pleasant experience of participating in the Second Central America Community Radio Network Meeting held in Panajachel, Guatemala.
