Last month, the Council of the European Union adopted the European Union-Central America Association Agreement. This policy will help address structural causes of injustice & oppression in Central America. AFSC's Douglas Juárez addresses the significance of the agreement.

Today, AFSC's Peacebuilding Director Lucy Roberts is at the SIPRI #SthlmForum. 'It's exciting to be with so many peacebuilders from around the world as we explore the theme of building trust in a divided world - feeling optimistic!' Today, RIGHT NOW (2:30 - 3.45pm CET), she and Jesse Eaves (pictured) from Humanity United are hosting a roundtable, 'Healing wounds: Exploring trauma’s impact on sustainable peace and development.' The roundtable will feature betty bigombe, Angi Yoder-Maina, Ph.D. and Aaron Pereira.
