Why are there fees for the Aap and the movements?
The Aap is a small grassroots organization, with no support from big foundations. Most of the Aap expenses (including personnel) are covered by the fees received from the different programs we organize. The Aap has a coordinator who lives in the US and earns approximately $ 15,000 a year. The program plans on increasing her salary whenever possible. The Aap also gets help from two other people (in Argentina ), who get paid an equivalent to what somebody doing that job would get paid in the US . The Aap is not a regular “solidarity” organization. Our objective is to facilitate communication. We do not have upon our main objectives to transfer funds from industrialized nations to Argentinean social movements, but we do think that the movements should receive some financial support from activists/students/artists and folks who wish to spend time learning from them.
