Focus Area Overview
US intervention in Latin America, from military coups to economic sanctions, has caused immense harm while claiming to promote “democracy” and “security.” WILPF stands in solidarity with movements across Latin America fighting for sovereignty, Indigenous rights, and freedom from US imperialism. We challenge our government’s role in destabilizing democracies, supporting authoritarian regimes, and extracting resources through exploitative trade policies.
Cuba and the Bolivarian Alliance Issue Committee
The Cuba & Bolivarian Alliance Issue Committee advances education, advocacy, and coalition-building to promote normalized US relations with Cuba and other Bolivarian Alliance countries, with a focus on ending the US blockade and uplifting women’s rights. Members meet monthly.
