The case against the Colombian free trade pact
Courageous activists and leaders have struggled, suffered and remained steadfast in a country where grassroots organizers have been systematically and brutally eliminated for years.

The United States-Colombia Trade Promotion Agreement should be stopped in its tracks now, before it's too late.
