We can share love and solidarity with people in Guatemala

Join me in supporting real change. Let’s support good in the world and make a difference. Help the Network in Solidarity with the People of Guatemala (NISGUA)

As you know, Peter and I lived in Guatemala from 2010-2012. While we were there, we got connected with NISGUA, an incredible non-profit dedicated to supporting human rights and social justice in radical ways for the people of Guatemala. We've stayed in touch and continued to support NISGUA in the ten years since we've been back in Wisconsin and wanted to invite you to support them as well.

Just a small donation will go a long way to support the phenomenal work that NISGUA does, the type of work that Guatemala, and the world, really needs today. Maybe we can't all be on the ground doing this work, but we can support those who are!

Who is NISGUA?

NISGUA accompanies Guatemalan water protectors and genocide survivors who are under threat for their political work. We use physical accompaniment to dissuade violence, facilitate connections between our partners in Guatemala and folks in the U.S. who are similarly impacted by colonialism, organize campaigns against destructive U.S. foreign policy and corporate violence in Central America, and mobilize people for urgent actions if our partners are threatened or attacked.
