Witness for Peace Partnership

The Resource Center is proud to partner with Witness for Peace. Both organizations started about 25 years ago as solidarity organizations during the 1980s U.S. interventions in Central America. Having a strong affinity and complementary programming, we find it very beneficial to work in close proximity.

We provide free office space and materials to the Upper Midwest Region of Witness for Peace, led by Organizer Robyn Skrebes.

The Resource Center brings to the relationship:

  • Strong regional identity and presence
  • Cross-cultural education programming and events that bring new people through our doors constantly
  • A long history of local organizing and advocacy including organizing around fair trade, worker’s rights, human rights, youth leadership, education advocacy and immigration advocacy

Witness for Peace brings to the relationship:

  • An on-the-ground presence and strong relationships in several Latin-American countries
  • A clear focus on U.S. policy impact on Latin-American countries
  • Legislative advocacy capabilities and tools at the national level
  • Staff in D.C.
