What's At Stake?

COLOMBIA FREE TRADE AGREEMENT IS STALLED BUT THE FIGHT IS NOT OVER

  • THE LIVES OF THOSE FIGHTING FOR WORKER RIGHTS
  • THE OWNERSHIP OF COMMUNAL LANDS BY AFRO-COLOMBIANS AND INDIGENOUS PEOPLES IS THREATENED BY PRIVATIZATION:
    Land ownership, a main source of wealth building that if taken away would increase poverty and inequalities among communities that have been historically oppressed and underserved in Colombia.
  • JUSTICE- as high impunity rates are ignored, judges that uphold the law are removed without cause and murderers remain free.
  • ECONOMIC JUSTICE- If we continue to support flawed trade models that promote job loss, displace workers, devastate family farming and increase migration.
