Peacemaker Teams
CPT
(previously Christian Peacemaker Teams) was founded in 1988 and is a
multi-faith, international organization that places teams of peace workers in areas of conflict around the
world. Working in these areas and militarized locations, the teams build partnerships with local
peacemakers to promote nonviolent social changes and transform the existing
systemic structures of oppression. Actions include advocacy for partnerships in
Palestine, Iraqi
Kurdistan, Colombia,
Lesvos, Turtle Island, and other places; offering training and
workshops that teach nonviolent tactics; and sending short-term delegations to oppressed communities that
request their help.
