In Colombia
We are committed to work for the implementation of the recommendations of the Dominican Justice and Peace Promoters of North America:
To support the Dominican family in Colombia, especially those who are in conflict zones (through prayer) and those who try to assist the displaced people(through financial assistance);
To oppose the involvement of the USA in the training of militaries and para-militaries both in the US and in Colombia;
To educate, resist and lobby against US Plan Colombia and legislation that advances the US political, economic and military control and environmental devastation in the region;
To lobby for humanitarian aid to Colombia, the cultivation of plants proper to the area (respecting the natural cycles) and the building up of the infrastructure to be able to bring the products to the appropriate markets;
To join existing groups in the US that are working for peace in Colombia.
