The Chiapas Peace House Project now has a new name: Colectivos de Apoyo, Solidaridad y Acción, or CASA for short. In English, our name translates to Collectives for Support, Solidarity and Action.

With the formation of our new collective CASA Chapulin in Oaxaca city (now accepting volunteers), we needed a name not specific to Chiapas. CASA can be viewed as the organization that encompasses both our Oaxaca collective, CASA Chapulin, and our Chiapas collective, CASA de la Paz. This also keeps the name by which we're known in Chiapas unchanged in pronunciation (Casa de la Paz).

We've also activated three new website addresses: www.casacollective.org, www.colectivocasa.org, and www.casachapulin.org, all of which point to our existing website. Our established web address www.chiapaspeacehouse.org will continue to remain active for the indefinite future.

We look forward to providing you news and analysis under our new name CASA as long as the struggle for social justice in Mexico continues.
