The Issue: Colombia
Colombia continues to suffer the consequences of
an armed conflict that has lasted more than 50 years. We stand in

Colombia; Lobby legislators to increase humanitarian aid, eliminate
U.S. military aid, and stop aerial fumigation; Urge the Colombian government to fulfill the recommendations
of the 2006 report of the High Commissioner for Human Rights regarding
the situation in Colombia; Support demonstrations against the School of the
Americas/Western Hemispheric Institute for Security Cooperation (SOA/WHINSEC)
that are held in the U.S. and Latin America; Review our investments and encourage shareholder
advocacy in corporations.
