Thanks for visiting my fundraising page in support of Network in Solidarity with the People of Guatemala (NISGUA)!
I had the privilege of working as an international human rights accompanier in Guatemala with NISGUA from 2017 to 2018. There, I walked alongside land and human rights defenders who fought for their water, their dignity, their children, and their lives.
In the photo above, my accompaniment partner and I hiked, or rode in the back of pickup trucks, between communities in a cluster of towns in San Pablo, San Marcos in the western highlands of Guatemala. The defenders who we accompanied faced repression and criminalization for their work to defend their land, one spending over two years behind bars in pretrial detention before it was decided he hadn’t committed any crimes. Still, he returned home and continues to organize. (Read an article I wrote about San Pablo in Spanish here.)
NISGUA's long-term, relationship-based solidarity is some of the most principled, adaptive, and effective organizing that I have had the pleasure of being a part of. Please join me in making their work possible!
What will my 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!
