| The Marin
Interfaith Task Force on the Americas
is a grassroots organization that has achieved local,
national, and international recognition for its positive
contribution to ending human rights abuses in
Central America. Founded in 1985 in response to the
U.S. role in El Salvador, MITF has since expanded its
focus to include all of the Americas. Proceeding from our hope for and
commitment to
world peace, our mission is to educate North American
citizens about realities in the
Americas and the
role the U.S. plays there, and provide humanitarian
aid and support for projects in those regions.
