About Common Frontiers
We are a national coalition with over two decades of experience and credibility in international solidarity. As a coalition composed of faith based, labour and social justice organizations focused on the Americas, we are uniquely positioned in Canada to provide important analysis, solidarity, and political support inside and outside the country
We do this through a combination of research, analysis and action, in cooperation with labour, human rights, environmental, church, development and economic and social justice organizations
Common Frontiers grew out of the experience gained by Canadian organizations confronting the Free Trade agenda and the recognition that cooperation must extended across sectors nationally and also across borders.
Our guiding principles are the recognition and defence of human, labour and land rights, environmental justice, strong public services, and support for accountable, transparent, and democratic governments throughout the America’s. We stand against corporate greed and unjust foreign intervention, and those who enable it.
