Thanks for visiting my fundraising page in support of Network in Solidarity with the People of Guatemala (NISGUA)!

I had the privilege of working with NISGUA as an international human rights accompanier in Guatemala from 2018–2019. While there, I walked alongside Maya Achí women pursuing legal justice for the violence committed against them during the Internal Armed Conflict, as well as Xinka land defenders resisting one of the largest silver mines in the world. I learned about the threads that tie together these struggles in Guatemala – threads that weave through liberation struggles around the world.

Join me in sustaining NISGUA's cross-border organizing, connecting and supporting struggles for justice and accountability, and the defense of life and territory.

What will your gift support?

  • International accompaniment - We are excited to continue expanding our accompaniment program. Currently, during the pandemic, we have adjusted to a remote accompaniment model. Read more about our year of remote accompaniment here.
  • Cross-border organizing - NISGUA facilitates exchange between movements in the U.S. and Guatemala through virtual meetings, webinars, speaking tours, and delegations. Read about our most recent delegation here, or watch the latest webinar, here.
  • Campaign development - In order to bring about long-term change, we know that educating our base and speaking truth to power is crucial. Read about our latest campaign win to suspend the Asylum Cooperative Agreements, and take action in the continued campaign to end title-42 expulsions and all deportations.
  • Relationship-building with Guatemalan partners - Staff and volunteers maintain regular contact with our Guatemalan counterparts who are fighting for justice and defending their territories. What we learn from our partners informs every other strategy we employ. Learn more here.

Just a small donation will go a long way to helping me meet my goal for Network in Solidarity with the People of Guatemala, and every gift made, up to $40,000 will be matched, dollar-for-dollar! Thank you
