Abstract:

Records of the Wisconsin Coordinating Council on Nicaragua (WCCN), a Wisconsin peace organization founded in 1984 that served as a regional coordinator for U.S.-Nicaragua sister city activities, promoted the Wisconsin-Nicaragua sister state relationship, and served as a model of citizen participation in foreign policy affairs. WCCN also assisted in monitoring the 1990 Nicaraguan elections. Included are files arising from the election observation work, research material collected for the book Friends in Deed: the Story of U.S. Nicaragua Sister Cities co-authored by WCCN director Liz Chilsen and Sheldon Rampton, grant proposals, a media resources manual, and subject files about other organizations with which the WCCN coordinated activities, including the Wisconsin Interfaith Committee on Central America (WICOCA) and the Interreligious Foundation for Community Organizations (IFCO).
