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

My 10 months accompanying Indigenous water protectors with NISGUA in 2018 and 2019 shaped the way I understand the world and my place in it. It continues to teach me about internationalism and the importance of feeling our connections to each other across borders. In the midst of this pandemic, as we bear witness to global struggles for justice in health, water, land, and life, I have been so grateful for the lessons of humility, persistence, and connectedness I still hold from our partners.

I have continuously volunteered with NISGUA since 2019 because the community makes me feel grounded in internationalism and because our partners tell us that our work has an impact and provides them with an important tool.

Please join me in investing in NISGUA's work now, when our impact of support is doubled. If everyone visiting this page donates $15, we'll reach our goal!

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.

Any donation helps me to meet my goal for NISGUA, and every gift made up to $40,000 will be matched, dollar-for-dollar! Thank you!
