Support Guatemala-U.S. Solidarity

NISGUA is a network of people that actively embody the spirit of international solidarity. Without your support, we would be unable to:

combat impunity and ignorance
provide channels through which people from Guatemala and North America can learn from one another and organize in movements that cross international and cultural boundaries.

In this spirit, NISGUA welcomes donations of all kinds. We appreciate contributions in the form of financial support, volunteer time, activist energy, and serious grassroots work around Guatemala.
