Scott Nicholson Reports: Accompanying
Social Organizations in Colombia
Nely seeking information about her spouse Luis Albeiro
|
|
Putting the Spin on Repression
“Luis Albeiro was grabbed by a group of men in Arenal the
evening of May 29. Later on, six shots were fired. People ran
to see what had happened but armed men kept them away from the
site where the shots had been fired. The body was then dumped
into a branch of the Magdalena River that runs alongside the neighborhood."

HELP IS NEEDED IN COLOMBIA
Concerned activists in Colombia have requested accompaniment,
or on-the-ground presence of U.S. citizens because the paramilitaries
are less likely to follow through on their threats in the presence
of international witnesses.
Through this work, CAJA has developed sister relations with
the Dawn of Women for Arauca women´s organization, Joel
Sierra Regional Human Rights Committee, Coca-Cola workers union
(SINALTRAINAL), and the Cimitarra River Valley Peasant Association.
Through ongoing accompaniment for human right leaders, and advocacy
for a just foreign policy, CAJA is working to improve human
rights in Colombia.

Campaign for a Sweatfree
Montana!
Endorse
the Campaign Now!
It no longer a secret that most goods we
purchase in the United States are produced under sweatshop conditions.
From clothing to electronics, the items we buy are made by workers
who labor long hours in inhumane conditions for wages that don’t
even allow them provide for their families’ basic needs.
In Missoula, we too can work to combat this “global race
to the bottom” by organizing a coalition of local community
groups, unions, human rights and environmental organizations to
get the City of Missoula to become Sweatfree! To get involved,
contact CAJA at 549-9697, or e-mail erinrenee@hotmail.com
