Last week those of us working on the Colombia team sent an urgent
action request regarding the families of Las Pavas who were displaced
from their land. Thank you for your swift response. Within four days,
we received fifty letters, which we shared with the community of Las
Pavas. The community leaders, grateful for this expression of
international solidarity, said that these letters “fortify us more than
eating a lunch” (and lunch is the principal meal of the day here). We
have also shared your letters with the Human Rights representatives of
the U.S. and Canadian embassies, who expressed their concern and a
commitment to follow up on the situation. Please continue to send
letters of concern about this displacement; updated details about how
to do so are below.
