F.O.R. has been working for peace and nonviolence in U.S. since 1915.
"The Fellowship of Reconciliation is composed of women and men who recognize the essential unity of all creation and have joined together to explore the power of love and truth for resolving human conflict. While it has always been vigorous in its opposition to war, the Fellowship has insisted equally that this effort must be based on a commitment to the achieving of a just and peaceful world community, with full dignity and freedom for every human being."

The Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR), a national, interfaith, pacifist organization, founded the Task Force on Latin America and the Caribbean (TFLAC) in 1983. TFLAC's goals are: (1) to strengthen communication and collaboration between North and Latin American nonviolent movements; (2) to help FOR members become actively engaged in Latin American and Caribbean issues; (3) to promote demilitarization and justice in U.S. policy toward the region through public education, collaboration with other North American groups, and advocacy.
<p>
The goals of the FOR Colombia Program are: to support the Peace Community of San José de Apartadó, Colombia in their strong commitment to justice and nonviolence, and to inform and involve concerned US citizens about the conflict in Colombia, US policy towards it, and about nonviolent alternatives to the war and political violence.
<P>
In February 2002, FOR volunteers began accompanying San José de Apartadó as human rights observers on behalf of the international community. Through accompaniment, Colombia Peace Presence volunteers increase the safety of the community and provide moral support for its members. They also report on other peace communities and initiatives in Colombia.
<p>
FOR distributes a monthly email update to help you stay informed and distribute to others. Speaking tours by returning volunteers and Colombian activists, and delegations to Colombia’s peace communities are educational and inspirational tools for the participants. FOR participates in national efforts that seek to change U.S. policy.
<p>
Faith Community Partnerships facilitated by FOR allow US communities to support and connect with these efforts. These partnerships may take different forms, with some communities engaging directly with Colombian initiatives, while others commit to host speakers, sponsor an FOR volunteer, distribute information, or advocate a nonviolent US policy in Colombia.
