Committee for Peasant Unity

The Committee for Peasant Unity was a Colombian organization founded in the early 1980s that advocated for the rights of rural farmers and landless peasants. It aimed to address social injustices, promote land reform, and improve living conditions through activism and dialogue. The group sought peaceful change but was also associated with revolutionary activities, including guerrilla movements, due to the ongoing conflict in Colombia. Its efforts highlighted the broader struggle for rural justice and social equality in the country, making it a significant, though controversial, player in Colombia’s path towards social and political reform.
