LATIN AMERICA

Bury The Monroe Doctrine


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

April 19, 2022

DC Forum To Focus on Transforming U.S. Policies Towards Latin America

WASHINGTON—Latin America and the Caribbean is changing and so must the way the United States view their relationship to the regions. This starts with burying the old school politics formed by the Monroe Doctrine. That is why CODEPINK and a coalition of over 50 organizations will host a forum entitled, ‘In Search of a New U.S. Policy For A New Latin America and the Caribbean: Burying 200 Years of the Monroe Doctrine,’ April 28-29 at American University. 

The forum brings together some of the foremost leaders and experts in Latin American and the Caribbean foreign policy and history. The forum will be a space for a critical discussion about the need for a transformation of U.S. policy to improve relations between the United States and its southern neighbors. 

WHO: Hosted by CODEPINK and over 50 partner organizations

WHAT: The Latin America and Caribbean Policy Forum: “In Search of a New U.S. Policy for a New Latin America: Burying 200 Years of the Monroe Doctrine” is a space to discuss and analyze the current political situation in Latin America and the imperative of framing a new U.S. policy for the 21st century that will improve our relations with the regional community.
