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.
Demand Justice for Las Pavas
Action Alert: Campaign for Return of Community of Las Pavas to their Land
Yes, the community of Las Pavas is making progress in the effort return to their land! Your efforts have helped ! But we still need more action! The Body Shop – in response to the ongoing campaign - recently completed an investigation of palm oil supplier Daabon’s activities in Las Pavas which found serious problems with Daabon’s operations. Even so, The Body Shop has yet to publicly state that they will stop buying palm oil from Daabon unless Daabon returns the land to the displaced community of Las Pavas, pays reparations for damage done, and works to correct damage to the environment there.
Take Action: Send a letter –or please re-send if you sent one before – to The Body Shop encouraging them to take action to correct the situation. [CLICK HERE TO SEND LETTER!!!!]
