> Guatemala has the most unequal land distribution in the Western Hemisphere, with large landholders who comprise only 2% of the population possessing 70% of the productive lands.

> Attacks against human rights defenders in Guatemala increased between 2004 and 2005. In 2005, El Movimiento Nacional por los Derechos Humanos documented 224 attacks against human rights defenders, in comparison with 122 attacks in 2004.

> On March 30, 2006, the 11th anniversary of the signing of the indigenous accord, tens of thousands of workers, farmers and indigenous people marched in Guatemala City to demand the strengthening of indigenous rights, restriction of open pit mining licenses, and funds for the Ministry of Agriculture to purchase land for redistribution.

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:

educate and organize for change
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.
