Southwest Region

The Southwest Region of Witness for Peace encompasses California, Nevada, Arizona, and Hawaii.

We are actively involved in building grassroots support for peace, social and economic justice throughout the Americas. Our campaigns include: raising awareness about the Roots of Migration, about the ill-effects of Plan Colombia, and about the links between U.S. policy and human rights violations throughout Latin America. Please join us! Besides participating in delegations and speaker tours, we need your help bringing WFP's message to your local school, church, union, and workplace. Please contact Tanya Cole for more info. about exciting ways to get involved with WFP in the Southwest!.
