We are unable to work on all issues. The following areas have been selected for priority attention:

• Peace with Justice
  • in the Middle East especially in Iraq
  • by closing the former School of the Americas, now the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation as both symbol and agency that train military officials who oppress their citizens
  • in Colombia who is experiencing one of the worst human rights crises in the world, clearly in America
  • in Haiti, the poorest country in our hemisphere

• Cancellation of the debt of the world’s poorest countries

• Lifting the embargo against Cuba

• HIV/AIDS in Africa

• Fair labor practices throughout the world especially in areas where international corporations set up factories where they can take advantage of cheap labor
