Delegations can change people’s lives, and AFGJ creates the opportunities for those life-changing experiences.

Check out our upcoming delegations below and reach out to [email protected] with questions and to request an application.

Our delegations to Colombia have helped free political prisoners and expose prison conditions and the role of the US Bureau of Prisons in their creation. In Honduras AfGJ delegations have stopped an illegal eviction of a peasant cooperative in Rigores, accompanied cooperatives under threat of violence in the Aguan Valley, and exposed fraud in the presidential election. AfGJ delegations to Nicaragua and Venezuela have exposed participants to successful poverty reduction and participatory democracy projects that have transformed those countries and would transform our own.

In our experience, nothing promotes peaceful relations more than getting to know the people and culture of another country. Nothing beats witnessing for ourselves the reality of another country to expose the lies of our government and corporate media. Nothing inspires us more to change our own country than to laugh and cry, eat and play with people who pay the price for the corporate greed and violence created by the US Empire and our consumerism.

Will you join us on a delegation in an act of solidarity? Our purpose is to bring the messages we hear from people on the ground to change our own government’s behavior toward these countries.

Join us to witness, experience and learn from the resistance of the Venezuelan people to the illegal, coercive and unilateral “sanctions” of the United States government against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. 22 years after the U.S.-backed coup against President Hugo Chávez, we’ll be in Venezuela to support the Bolivarian Revolution and say: No Volverán!
