Now more than ever, justice calls for solidarity beyond borders.

For more than a decade, I have walked alongside the Network in Solidarity with the People in Guatemala in accompaniment of struggles for justice for genocide, against the destruction of land and water, and for Indigenous self-determination. As a volunteer, staff, and board member, I have seen NISGUA's partnerships and vision for global change grow and deepen.

Today, our world faces multiple growing threats: climate emergency, authoritarianism, and a pandemic that is dramatically sharpening economic and social inequality. NISGUA believes, as I do, that these crises must be confronted through solidarity, by accompanying, learning from, and sharing resources with people and communities on the front lines.

Here are some of the actions NISGUA is taking right now:

  • Continuing virtual accompaniment of partner organizations in Guatemala while physical presence is interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and sharing information about how Guatemalan communities and movements are responding.

COVID-19 has revealed even more starkly how much we need each other. In the absence of adequate state responses, social movements are feeding, connecting, and mobilizing people. NISGUA's relationship-based organizing draws on the principles of interdependence, racial justice, and centering those most impacted by colonialism and capitalism -- commitments that we will need to ground in in order to move through this moment.

By making a gift today, you'll ensure the sustainability of NISGUA's work to continue cultivating long-term, transnational relationships grounded in a shared vision for global change. This is a crucial moment and every dollar counts. Between May 15 and May 31, 2020, all donations received up to $50,000 will be matched dollar for dollar!

Towards liberation,
