Last year, the Witness for Peace Solidarity Collective celebrated 40 years of on-the-ground accompaniment and solidarity with communities defending life, land, and dignity in Latin America and the Caribbean.

A lot has changed since our first long-termers arrived in Nicaragua in 1983. We expanded our teams to cover other countries beyond Nicaragua, and in 2019 shifted to a horizontal worker-self-directed model.

However, some things remain the same. Human rights and environmental land defenders in Colombia and Honduras still face alarming rates of threats, attacks, and assassinations. Our presence is still urgently needed to provide protection for our partners.

Colombia and Honduras remain the most dangerous countries in the world for environmental land defenders. In 2022, over half the environmental defenders killed globally were in Colombia and Honduras. Moreover, the U.S. has tightened its economic war on our partners in the Caribbean, labeling CU as a State Sponsor of Terror.

Our goal is to raise $40K within the next four weeks! We are a small but mighty staff of nine who work on everything from physical protection and facilitating delegations witnessing the harmful impacts of U.S. foreign policy, to coordinating urgent actions, webinars, and collective work with different coalitions.

**That's why we are rolling out a membership program that will keep our international teams on the ground.**

**We invite you to become a member to:**

- Amplify the voices of grassroots movements on the ground in Latin America and the Caribbean
- Participate in urgent actions to hold the U.S. accountable for imperialist foreign policy
- Attend quarterly membership meetings 
- Get access to popular education training, teach-ins and educational resources
- and more....

**To learn more about our membership program,** [visit here](https://www.solidaritycollective.org/membership)**.**

Your support will make certain that we are able to travel, facilitate protection workshops, coordinate strategic meetings for frontline communities to strengthen community and exchange effective strategies, and conduct regular advocacy meetings.

Will you stand with communities on the frontlines organizing to protect their communities, the environment, and our collective future?

WFPSC - $40K Membership Campaign

Join us on a journey to meet the diverse people and learn about their history, successes, and challenges around the issues of race, gender, and environmentalism. How have concepts of race and identity evolved from the times when a million enslaved persons were forcibly brought to the island, through abolition, independence, and revolution, to ongoing attempts to end racism under socialism? What is the impact of the Family Code passed by referendum in 2022, in providing greater rights for women, same-sex couples, LGBTQ+ people, children, and elders? How does this island nation respond to climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss? How can we act in solidarity with those suffering under the decades-long U.S. trade blockade?
