The Kentucky Interfaith Taskforce on Latin America and The Caribbean, a 501(c)(3) non profit organization, was formed in 1996 as a collective for various local groups working on Central and Latin American issues. Beginning in the 1980s with increased concern for the effects of U.S. policy in the region, KITLAC and its predecessors have been working in solidarity with the people of the region on issues of militarism, human rights and economic justice.
