History and Mission Vision
While
acknowledging the dynamics of power inherent in our relationship, we strive for
new approaches to North/South and South/South exchange grounded in a joint
approach to strategizing that engages people from diverse race and class
backgrounds, values different types of authority and experience, and places the
priority for action on the people and communities impacted by the issues. As a
trusted conduit for information, access, and people-to-people interactions,
NISGUA will exchange new tools with activists in Guatemala, connect North
Americans to this work, and link shared struggles and pockets of hope across the
globe. History Today NISGUA works with Guatemala and Latin America solidarity committees around the country, channels information about Guatemala to U.S. activists, and organizes ongoing grassroots advocacy and lobbying campaigns. Through our annual tours of Guatemalan speakers and delegations to Guatemala, NISGUA strengthens people-to-people ties across borders. As one of the only U.S.-based organizations to provide international accompaniment in Guatemala, NISGUA maintains 9-10 human rights monitors in country at a time who accompany threatened human rights organizations and witnesses involved in precedent-setting human rights cases. NISGUA coordinates its work with Guatemalan grassroots organizations and NGOs and often works in coalition with other U.S.-based organizations to magnify our voice here in the U.S.
