San Miguel is fortunate to have a number of progressive groups whose missions are focused on social and economic justice as well as environmental and food supply issues. On Wednesday, July 13th, we featured a panel with representatives from some of San Miguel's leading progressive organizations. Speakers included one of the main organizers of TOSMA, the very popular Saturday Farmer's market. In addition, there was spokespeople from an important local water quality group, Caminos de Agua and Tiangus Multitrueque, an organization linking producers in a lateral work exchange, a new form of equitable economic trade.
We will depart from San Miguel early in the morning to Patzcuaro, where we will spend three days. We will visit the most important buildings and churches in Patzcuaro and also visit a number of nearby indigenous villages:
