Upcoming Delegation Schedule

Join the Historic 25th Anniversary Delegation!
June 12-23, 2008

Nearly 25 years since the first Witness for Peace delegation arrived in Latin America, much has changed yet our partners continue to work for social justice, peace and changes to harmful U.S. policies. Join a delegation to Mexico, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Colombia or Venezuela and see for yourself. After eight days in country, return to Washington DC for a weekend of sharing what was learned; participate in workshops, skill-building, advocacy, lobby training and direct action.

This historic anniversary delegation will bring together long-time and new WFP activists. We will be more than 100 strong!
Email Ken Crowley or call 202-547-6112 to sign up today!
