Casa de los Amigos A.C.

An Open Letter from the Asamblea (Board) of Casa de los Amigos AC:

Casa de los Amigos is in crisis

The Casa de los Amigos continues in crisis. The Board of Directors of the Casa, on behalf of many members of the Casa community, expresses deep concerns about the current administration that is carrying out programs in the historic building. These concerns encompass the aparent falsification of Board documents in 2018 and 2019 that resulted in the removal of more than half of the Board members without their consent (including 7 of the 11 Quakers); misuse of donations; as well as significant accusations of safety concerns from partner organizations. These concerns have motivated many collaborating organizations and individuals to suspend their ties with Casa de los Amigos. The Casa is a historic peace organization dedicated to conflict resolution.  But, the administration currently running programs at Casa has made no attempt to address these concerns of the community nor heal the rift that continues to weaken this historic and beloved organization.

At this time, the Board cannot vouch for the safety or integrity of the programs taking place in the historic building. (The Board also informs the public that the current administration maintains control over the Facebook page.) However, it is important to note that this situation can be healed and more details can be found by clicking below.
