STOP evictions in Guatemala! ✊

Fighting Back Against Electoral Silence in Guatemala



                                Stand in solidarity with Indigenous 
communities in Guatemala!





                                 Dear Friends of Land Rights Now,

                                We invite you to join us in supporting our 
newest campaign #StopEvictions in Guatemala

                                Indigenous territories are once again 
threatened by widespread evictions perpetrated against rural communities by 
the Guatemalan State and large agribusinesses.
                                Courageous land defenders from Guatemala are 
fighting for their ancestral lands, lives, and the environment in a perilous 
context for activists.

                                In the week leading up to critical national 
elections, they seek international support to secure their land rights.

                                To say YES to indigenous and agrarian 
justice, follow and share our campaign content on Twitter, Instagram and 
Facebook.
