Witness for Peace-MidAtlantic
is a regional association whose mission is to support and participate
in the work of national Witness for Peace. The Mid-Atlantic region
includes the states of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware,
Maryland and Washington, DC. We, like national Witness for Peace,
are politically independent, committed to non-violence and led
by faith and conscience. As a grass-roots movement, Witness for
Peace-MidAtlantic seeks to give testimony to violations of human
rights in Latin America and the Caribbean and to raise awareness
of the cycle of economic and military violence imposed upon the
poor in these countries by policies of the U.S. and International
Financial Institutions. We advocate for U.S. economic and social
policies that protect and support all human rights.
Consistent with our
mission, Witness for Peace-MidAtlantic organizes speaking tours
and annual retreats, publishes newsletters, and sponsors delegations
to Latin America and the Caribbean. Delegates witness the realities
of the impact of the debt of poor countries, sweatshop employment,
threatening militaries, and other sources of hardship and suffering.
Based on first-hand
experiences, Witness for Peace-MidAtlantic works with people of
faith and conscience to develop skills and strategies that will
transform destructive U.S. policies to ones of life, opportunity
and hope.
