CCDA Canada Tour and Donation Drive

The leader of the CCDA, Leocadio Juracan just completed a 2 week tour of Eastern Canada with stops in Charlottetown, Halifax, Fredericton, Quebec City, Montreal, Kanesatake, Ottawa, Toronto, Kitchener-Waterloo and London.

In Ottawa, Leocadio met with Global Affairs Canada and a Member of Parliament to seek support for peaceful and complete transition of the newly elected Guatemalan government with the progressive president-elect, Bernardo Arévalo. Leocadio also met with some local roasters who use CCDA beans in their coffee. For more information on Leocadio's tour, please check out the Facebook page from our partner, Cafe Justicia BC and this APTN news report.

Leocadio also met with Education in Action board members to thank them for their continued support. To that end, Education in Action now needs your help as we launch our fall donation drive. We are using this donation drive in place of the November community dinner that we used to put on. Our goal for this drive is $2,000 in total donations. Any amount you can donate will be greatly appreciated. Donations can be made via

• e-Transfer to "Education in Action" at "eiacafejusticia@gmail.com".

• OR by cheque payable to "Education in Action, 45 Washington Ave, Ottawa ON K1L 6S7".

Please note that Education is Action is NOT a registered charity and thus we cannot issue a tax receipt for your donation. Thank you for your solidarity and support.
