North American Congress On Latin America
The North American Congress on Latin America (NACLA) is an independent, non-profit organization founded in 1966 with the purpose of providing information on major trends in Latin America and its relations with the United States. The organization is best known for publishing the bimonthly NACLA Report on the Americas; it also publishes "books, anthologies and pamphlets for classroom and activist use." It also operates "Media Accuracy on Latin America", a website which analizes US media coverage of Latin America. NACLA has been, for the last 40 years, the premiere source of information—providing English-language news and analysis not found anywhere else—for journalists, policymakers, activists, students and scholars in North America and throughout the world.
