Colombia Presentation: What Are Human Rights? April 1, 2009

Sandra Alvarez, the daughter of Colombian immigrants, will speak about the international human rights system and how Colombians are fighting for their rights.

The Peace Community of San Jose de Apartado and the U'wa people of Colombia are two communities working to stay on their land and avoid joining the 4 million people who have been forced out of their homes. Despite billions of dollars in military aid from the US and a half century of conflict, these communities, with the support and solidarity of activists around the world, are building peaceful alternatives.

The event will be held in the Main Theater.
