Call to End Plan Colombia

Statement from the Colombia Action Network and call to action against Plan Colombia.

There is a growing debate in Congress concerning Plan Colombia. There needs to be an end to US military aid to Colombia. The almost 5 billion dollars the US has sent in military aid since 2000 has had horrendous results in Colombia. It has paid for military and para-military human rights abuses including massacres, disappearances, kidnapping, and threats of social justice and labor activists and their families.

The US has given almost 5 billion in military aid to Colombia since 2000. Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, & Colombia Action Network (CAN) delegations have all documented that our tax dollars are going directly to support military & death squad violence in Colombia.
