Three Americas is an educational and action organization that serves as a catalyst to link the people of the Americas through cooperative projects supporting social, environmental and economic justice.
We look forward to a vigorous year of new and continuing programs which will interconnect with and strengthen relationships with other community organizations through work which supports social, environmental and economic justice in the Western Hemisphere.
Three Americas is funded through sale of fairly traded, organic, shade-grown coffee, DVDs, and donations. Donations can be made Saturdays at our coffee booth at the Aptos Farmers’ Market, Cabrillo College, or here on our website.
