Maggie will record oral histories at the Social Forum of the Americas in Guatemala, which will be used to develop an audio documentary about building global justice from the perspectives of people in Central and South America. She will then travel to El Salvador for six months to work with the Cento de Intercambio y Solidaridad to observe elections alongside a grassroots organization. This audio documentary will also be edited into short radio programs with English translation and made accessible via the MMP website and West Philadelphia's community radio station WPEB. Maggie will also distribute the project through Spanish language news sources.
