from the Days of Prayer and Action for Colombia Planning Team
Pax Christi USA is a supporter of “Days of Prayer and Action for Colombia” (DOPA).
“Days of Prayer and Action for Colombia” (DOPA) is a campaign to focus education and advocacy efforts for Colombia and the many challenges to peace and justice faced by our partners there. This year’s DOPA dates are May 17-18th and will be marked by actions of solidarity and prayer under the theme “Tomorrow’s Peace Starts Today – La Paz de Mañana Empieza Hoy.”
Talks between the government and Colombia’s largest guerrilla group, the FARC, continue to move forward, but peace accords have not been signed yet. With threats to human rights defenders and advocates for just resolution of land conflict increasing, there is still much work to be done. Join us in praying and advocating for those who are working for peace today and the peace accords of tomorrow. There are several ways to join the DOPA campaign:
- Support the grassroots DOPA petition and share it through your networks.
