Goal: We call on the US government to halt the military deployment to the southern Caribbean and prioritize diplomatic, humanitarian, and community-based solutions to address drug-related challenges.
The US government's move to send military forces to the southern Caribbean in response to Latin American drug cartels is a misguided approach that risks escalating violence, destabilizing the region, and harming innocent communities. Decades of military interventions have failed to address the root causes of drug trafficking and have often led to human rights abuses and strained international relations.
Instead of repeating the mistakes of the past, we urge policymakers to focus on evidence-based strategies that prioritize public health, economic development, and international cooperation. Addressing drug-related challenges requires investment in education, healthcare, harm reduction, and support for affected communities—not more warships and fighter jets.
We demand an immediate end to this military escalation and a commitment to peaceful, sustainable solutions that respect the sovereignty and dignity of all people in the region.
