Colombia Support Network

Carol Chomsky Forest

The great knot of mountains known as the Colombian Massif is the birthplace of the Magdalena, Cauca, Caqueta and Patia Rivers. Containing 362 bodies of water in the mountains, this area is the source of 70% of the water for human consumption and irrigation in the region.

Multi-national mining companies with the blessing of the Colombian government threaten to destroy the pristine resources of this area.

What is the Colombia Support Network?

The Colombia Support Network is a grassroots organization, with 501 (c)(3) status, created to give solidarity to the Colombian people through sister city projects, delegations and petitions to educate members of the U.S. government. We also invite guest speakers and carry out outreach activities through print and electronic mediums.

We invite you to get involved. Here are some ways you can join us.
