Please consider making a contribution to PBI-USA on Giving Tuesday (Nov 29th) to help us reach our goal of $1,500. Funds raised will cover the costs of our virtual speaking tours in 2023, including the use of interpreters. We plan to host more webinars in the future and we want to make sure it is a good experience for our supporters and an effective outlet for human rights defenders. 

On November 15, Peace Brigades International brought together environmental human rights defenders from Colombia, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua and Kenya, along with United Nations Special Rapporteur Pedro Arrojo-Agudo, to share insights on frontline struggles and the COP27 summit. To watch the video of the webinar (with original audio), click here.

Are you keen to work for human rights and peace?
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to volunteer with PBI?

Join us for an informative and interactive webinar to find out!

I’m Andrew Miller. In 1999 / 2000 I served with Peace Brigades International in Colombia, and I have been a member of the PBI-USA Board for the last five years.

The work I do today – supporting Indigenous peoples and other local communities as they protect the Amazon rainforest – is a direct result of the profound experiences I had as a PBI volunteer.

And earlier this year I was delighted to once again see PBI in action in the Colombian Amazon, where local activists are under severe threat for their work to defend the environment.
