Invitations
from Colombian Faith Leaders
- San
José de Apartadó, Antioquia:
Founded in March 1997, the San José Peace Community was set up by citizens
who sought to separate themselves from the conflict by refusing entry to all
armed groups - guerrillas, paramilitaries and the state security forces.
- Indigenous
Communities of Northern Cauca: The Nasa people of northern Cauca department
have organized a system of peaceful resistance to all armed groups.
- Building
from the Inside Out: a report by the Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR)
and the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) on the process of building
peace in Colombia.
- The listed organizations
all participated in the conference "Partnering
for Peace: Colombian and North American Communities in Solidarity"
in Chicago in October 2005. Included are descriptions of these organizations
of existing partnerships. The partnerships described here are not all those
that exist, just those that sent in descriptions. Some are in English and
Spanish, some only in English.
