Clergy and lay people concerned about U.S. aggression in Central America founded Witness for Peace in 1983. Over the years, Witness for Peace has worked in Nicaragua, Guatemala, Haiti, Cuba, and in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas to advocate for peace, justice and sustainable economies by changing U.S. policy and corporate practices that contribute to poverty and oppression in Latin American and the Caribbean. Witness for Peace, a politically independent grassroots organization, is a network of 15,000 activists, which moves people to action through nonviolent action, education and mobilization of its grassroots base.
