The Network in Solidarity with the People of Guatemala (NISGUA) links people in the U.S. with the Guatemalan people and their struggles for justice, human rights, environmental protection and dignity. Formed at the height of Guatemala's war in 1981, NISGUA's network today is comprised of thousands of people across the U.S. who demand justice for genocidal crimes of the past, push to change current U.S. policies, challenge corporate-led development in Guatemala and advocate for grassroots alternatives.
