Take Action Now!

Write your Members of Congress and ask them to support the rights of flower workers and to oppose the pending Free Trade Agreement with Colombia!

Six flower workers at the Mongibello flower plantation near Bogotá, Colombia were fired on November 10th because they tried to form a union. Tell the management at Mongibello that this sort of activity is not just unethical, it's illegal.

Our friends at the Latin America Working Group (LAWG) are circulating a petition to President-Elect Barack Obama requesting a new type of policy for Latin American and Caribbean countries. Now is a moment not just to be in opposition, but to create foreign policy that we can believe in.    NOTE:  The petition deadline passed on January 21 but it is still available for reviewing on the LAWG website.
