Columbia Protest??
name | 16.08.2001 12:44
Anyone know of any action planned about the US involvment in Columbia? Not only are they using an internal 'problem'(high levels of drug use) as a reason for an external war, their methods of warfare have been widely condemned as cruel and impractical. The spraying of chemicals onto the crops of native peoples is causing widespread illness, hunger and death....whilst US drug use continues to rise

Colombia solidarity

I helped organise the Black Communities Process tour of Britain last March, in Manchester- where i live. There was a fair amount of interest from the people who came to the talks but I was and still am- at a loss as how to take it further. Atleast now there is more awareness due to all the media coverage and the fact that it is so unbelievable what's going on there.
It isn't as straight forward as getting colombians involved though. There are solidarity canpaigns such as "Collective Aginst US invasion" and CORAS a refugee support organisation has been active. (not clandestine)
But it's complicated.
Still I am very interested in doing something about it if you have energy and interest
