BACKGROUND:


On Tuesday, April 4, The Black Alliance for Peace (BAP), along
with key partner organizations, launched an effort to activate
the popular movements in our region in support of the Community
of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) 2014 call to make
the Americas region a “Zone of Peace.” This campaign will be
informed by the Black Radical Peace Tradition. With its focus on
the structures and interests that generate war and state
violence—colonialism, patriarchy, capitalism and all forms of
imperialism—the fight for a Zone of Peace is an attempt to expel
all of these nefarious forces from our region.
