Our AGM Program seeks to raise awareness in the Global North about the historic roots of war and poverty in the Americas and the negative impact of corporate globalization and militarization in Latin America. We do this primarily by: 1) Building and supporting grassroots movements in the Global North and South and 2) Organizing against political, economic, and military intervention in Latin America.

EPICA has chosen a preferential option for the poor of Latin America and the Caribbean and seek to be in solidarity with grassroots communities, popular organizations and movements for justice and peace. The poor of the Americas have organized themselves in increasingly diverse ways as peasants and workers, as peoples of indigenous and African descent, and as women and families. We are committed to the indigenous and Afro-Caribbean peoples of the Americas and project their perspectives in our work.

All people are equal and deserve equal access to food, water, shelter, jobs, education, health services and a dignified life. We believe that it will be impossible to sustain peace in the world as long as a minority lives in opulence and over-consumes the earth's resources, while the majority of the world's poor do not have access to even the basics necessary for survival. We believe that God abhors such injustice and that the oppressed human spirit rises up against it. Peace cannot be sustained through the forcible imposition of political, economic and social systems that enrich a few at the expense of the majority.
