CPT INTERNATIONAL: Mission, Vision and Values

	CPTers with leaders of CAHUCOPANA, a Colombian grassroots human rights group that organizes and trains for community action against militarization and paramilitary violence in their region. “Our work is overcoming fear."

Over the last couple of years, CPT has been engaged in an organization-wide “Mission and Presentation Re-visioning” process. As we approached the 25th anniversary of CPT’s founding, we began to take a fresh look at the vision, mission, values and visual identity of our organization. This process flowed out of our 2009 Strategic Directions for Undoing Racism. We are pleased to unveil the fruits of our collaborative process to date.

MISSION
