May 22-23, 2016 will mark the annual Days of Prayer and Action for Colombia (DOPA). This event is celebrated in communities and congregations across Colombia and the U.S. This year, there is real hope that a Peace Accord will be signed, ending  fifty-years of fighting between the government and the FARC guerillas. As “Plan Colombia” moves to “Peace Colombia” advocates in the U.S. must call for the U.S. to end militarized aid, and instead investment fully in Colombia’s peace.

This year’s DOPA theme, “Building Peace from the Ground Up” acknowledges the role grassroots peacebuilding has had in tilling the soil for the peace agreement, and the critical role it will play in nurturing a peace that will be sustained in Colombia. Across our two nations we will plant ‘seeds of peace’ together, committing ourselves to renewed work and policies needed for a just peace in Colombia to grow.

For there shall be a sowing of peace; the vine shall yield its fruit, the ground shall give its produce, and the skies shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things. (Zechariah 8:11)

What if the most painful displacement is not leaving home, but returning to discover that the place you love is slowly being made to forget you?

Walls

David Leaman

After a CPT delegation in the US-Mexico Borderlands, David Leaman joined our team in Palestine. In both places, he came across oppressive dividing walls. Here, he reflects on their role as colonial tools, and the common call of CPT in different parts of the world to dissolve them.
