Witness for Peace Northwest Internships

Witness for Peace (WFP) is a grassroots, politically independent, non-profit, human rights and economic justice organization dedicated to the principals of non-violence. Our mission is to change those United States foreign and economic policies which contribute to poverty and oppression in Latin America and the Caribbean, and to promote just alternatives.

Since 1983, WFP has maintained a full time presence throughout Latin America and the Caribbean Basin America: in Nicaragua, Mexico, and Colombia, establishing relationships with the popular, civil and religious sectors, hosting delegations, and documenting the effects of US foreign, military and economic policies. In the United States, WFP circulates the results of this documentation among its network of tens of thousands of grassroots activists in the form of books, reports, flyers, newsletters and action alerts. Witness for Peace mounts nationwide grassroots action and education campaigns, using its network to work to change US policy.

Our policy priorities include:
 Ending U.S. military aid to Colombia and the fumigation campaign
 Advocating for fair trade initiatives, rather than free trade agreements (such as NAFTA, CAFTA, and the US-Colombia Free Trade Agreement)
 Supporting immigrant rights
 Closing the U.S. Army School of the Americas/WHINSEC
 Ending the U.S. embargo against Cuba

Internships are unpaid. Interns will be involved in many aspects of WFP’s operations, such as tracking legislation, organizing our members to participate in grassroots action campaigns, communicating with representatives of collegial organizations and Congressional offices, and representing WFPNW in local coalition meetings. The time commitment ranges between 10 to 20 hours weekly.

We are currently accepting applications for fall 2008 internships.
