Colombian indigenous communities in northern Cauca and the sugarcane workers on strike in the neighboring province of Valle de Cauca are asking for an honest dialogue with the Colombian government to address the serious social problems they face. Rather than listening to the concerns of these marginalized communities, the Colombian government—backed by U.S. military funding—has responded with repressive force.
Please take a minute to send a message to the U.S. Ambassador to Colombia, asking him to demand that the Colombian government respect human rights.
