LASC is an initiative for cultural promotion, development education and campaigning solidarity, linking Ireland and Latin America.

LASC recognises and seeks to challenge the uneven and unjust concentration of wealth, land and political power in the hands of a few; the persisting discrimination of the rights of indigenous groups; the submission of the rights of the people to the rights of minority economic interests including both multinational companies and national private companies; the continuing tradition of military and police violence as a response from government to demands for social change; the intrusion of foreign powers in national affairs and the widespread acceptance of neo-liberal political and economic policies.
VISION
LASC believes in a Latin America and an Ireland based on equality, social justice and an equal realisation of cultural, social, political, civil and economic rights for all human beings.
MISSION
LASC's mission is to expose and challenge the current injustices in Latin America and in Ireland, through public awareness raising, development education, information exchanges and campaigns in solidarity with the people of Latin America who are resisting oppression and are struggling to create a fair and inclusive society.
