Funding & supporting human rights, justice, democracy, land & environment defense work & struggles in Guatemala & Honduras
Since 1995, Rights Action has been working (mainly) in Honduras and Guatemala, funding and supporting justice struggles for war crimes and human rights violations; land, environment and human rights defense struggles that are resisting harms and violence caused by different sectors of the global economy: mining and hydro-electric dams; for-export production of African palm, sugarcane, bananas; the tourism industry and ‘sweatshop’ garment factories. At the same time, Rights Action works to document and denounce political, economic and military interventions in Central America (particularly Guatemala and Honduras) of the U.S. and Canada and other ‘global north’ countries and actors.
While we update our website, please send your questions about our work, past and on-going, to info@rightsaction.org
Rights Action carries out education and activism work in the U.S. and Canada addressing how our governments, companies and investors often contribute directly to and benefit from human rights violations, repression, environmental harms, exploitation, corruption and impunity in these countries.
Direct Funding
Rights Action channels your donations and grants directly to people suffering human rights violations, evictions and harms caused by the corrupt, repressive, U.S. and Canadian-backed regimes in Honduras and Guatemala, and their global economy business partners, as they fight to stay in their communities, on their lands, defending their human rights and the environment.
