Eight countries are represented in a new Panamerican Congress, meeting in Colombia this weekend to discuss tackling migration, climate change issues in Western Hemisphere.
A group of U.S. lawmakers is meeting this week with Latin American counterparts to form a new multinational congress to tackle thorny cross-border issues such as climate change and migration throughout the Western Hemisphere. Organizers say the newly formed Panamerican Congress will differ from the European Union Parliament because it won’t make laws for the region.
It is being organized from Washington by the Center for Economic and Policy Research, a progressive think tank, which invited a limited group of Democratic lawmakers who are focused on Latin America. “The challenges plaguing our hemisphere — democratic backsliding, climate crisis, deep poverty, political violence, family displacement — are too urgent, too significant for any one nation to address alone,” Rep. Delia Ramirez of Illinois, another member of the U.S. delegation, said in a statement.
