VIGIL and RALLY for Colombia's Displaced

Vigil: Sunday and Monday from 12 - 5 pm, please come see a moving display of thousands of faces and stories of people in Colombia who've been displaced by the ongoing violent conflict fueled by $6 billion in US military aid. Stand with those who struggle for justice! Help hand out flyers and gather signatures to increase support for a resolution now in Congress to support displaced communities, especially women, indigenous communities and communities of color.

Rally: At 5 pm on Monday, come together with members of AFRODES (National Association of Displaced Afrocolombians), the Colombia Human Rights Committee, Latin America Working Group, Mennonite Central Committee, School of the Americas Watch, US Office on Colombia, Witness for Peace, and many others concerned about the hidden displacement crisis in Colombia. Hear from rousing speakers such as Rev. Ricardo Esquivia from Colombia's Evangelical Council of Churches, Charo Mina Rojas from AFRODES-USA, Andreiev Pinzon from Techo Comun, Colombian Human Rights Platform Coalition, Pari Farmani from American University,  and many others call attention to displacement in Colombia and what we in the US can do about it.
