Colombia Project
About CPT Colombia
Christian Peacemaker Teams (CPT) Colombia works together on grassroots initiatives to expose and transform structures of domination and oppression through active nonviolence in order to make possible the reign of God -a world grounded in respect, justice and love, even of enemies.
The Team is based in and has a long history of working in the Magdalena Medio region, although in recent years we have also begun to do occasional accompaniment in other parts of the country.

Email or fax your letter of support to the community of Garzal
The community of Garzal has struggled for years for their land titles
with little outside attention. (see CPTNet release: The Dispossessed) The Colombia team is collecting letters of support to deliver
to the community. In addition to demonstrating emotional and spiritual support
to Garzal as they continue their struggle, the community will have the letters
to present to various officials as the legal proceedings continue. Click the link for a sample letter which you can submit or modify. We encourage you
to add a sentence or two of your own, even if it is in English. You can also
cut and paste this onto your church or organization’s letter head, or add a
photo.
