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.
Urgent Action
Take Action: We are calling on individuals, churches, groups, and civil society to give the gift of solidarity this holiday season to the families of Las Pavas by protesting in front of The Body Shop.

The community of Las Pavas nonviolent struggle to return to their land continues. Thus far, we have not seen any serious action on behalf of the cosmetic company The Body Shop. They have failed to sufficiently pressure their palm oil supplier the Daabon Company to relent and return the las Pavas farm to the 123 families. As of today, the situation of the 123 displaced families is growing more difficult by the day. Therefore, we are calling on individuals, churches, groups, and civil society to give the gift of solidarity this holiday season to the families of Las Pavas by protesting in front of The Body Shop.
