The Movement for Peace in Colombia invites you to a cocktail and discussion with a group of human rights activists that are visiting Washington and New York. They are here to meet with members of international agencies such as the Organization of American States and the United Nations and to meet with US senators and congresspersons in order to present the case for a political solution to the Colombian internal war, the need to reduce the tensions that have surfaced between Colombia and its neighbors, the issue of the proposed US military bases in Colombia and the human rights situation in our country.
Our guests belong to various Colombian Human Rights defense groups and Peace advocate groups, citizens preoccupied with the dangerous road our country has taken, in the continuation of the military solution to the internal conflict, armaments race and the potential for armed conflicts with its neighbors.
The event will take place at terraza 7 train café, Friday the 4th at 8:00 PM
Our guests are:
- Luis Salcedo, psychologist and member of the Asamblea Permanente de la Sociedad Civil.
- Esther Gallego, lawyer. Member of the Coordinadora nacional de la Ruta
Pacífica, women for a negotiated solution to the armed internal conflict.
