# ORIT Inter-American Labor Forum poster (Spanish poster distributed via ORIT, Mexico City)

A Spanish-language poster inviting trade unionists to the Second Inter-American Trade Union Forum on Economic and Social Problems, 10 to 15 July 1964, in Mexico City. A smiling worker in a cap gives a thumbs-up before a sunburst, the Alliance for Progress emblem and a village with a clinic, school and factory. The tell is plain-folks: an ordinary worker figure carries the invitation, while the Alliance emblem lends the programme's standing.
