Join one of these delegations to Colombia
A Raw Trade, June 12-23, Application Deadline: May 19
Join Witness for Peace and visit farmers and union leaders who are resisting this trade agreement, see the impact of U.S supported fumigations, and plan actions in solidarity with Colombians. Last month, the Bush administration unilaterally submitted to Congress the U.S.-Colombia free trade agreement. Overwhelming civil society opposition has stalled the agreement for now, leaving its fate in flux. Amazingly, proponents still argue that the agreement is a gift to Colombia. Come to Colombia to see what they are missing. For more information contact: Ben Beachy at (202)-403-1752 or at: wfpma@witnessforpeace.org
Building Justice Across Borders, August 2-16, Application Deadline:June 20.
Join the Fellowship of Reconciliation on a powerful delegation to visit communities and organizations that struggle for the right to say no to armed conflict and are creating peace and justice from the grassroots up. Travel to the Peace Community of San José de Apartadó. Meet with people whose family members have been killed by the U.S.-funded Colombian army and are non-violently working for justice for these crimes. Understand the U.S. media blanket on Colombia and get a glimpse of the side of Colombian life that is rarely told in the U.S. For more information contact: liza@igc.org
