Rights Action

¡Bajo Aguan Resiste!

Poor campesinos in the Aguan region, in need of a means of survival, are reclaiming lands that have been illegally and violently taken from them by wealthy land-owners backed by the regime.

Chixoy Dam

Thousands of impoverished Mayan-Achi campesinos were illegally and forcibly evicted from their villages along the Chixoy river to make way for the construction of a hydro-electric dam.

Violence in Guatemala doesn't occur in a vacuum. This massacre was not an incomprehensible act of violence, but a logical and predictable consequence of Guatemalan political, economic and military policies.

Defending Indigenous Land

¡La fuerza ancestral se levanta nuestras voces llenas de justicia y libertad! ¡Lempira, no solo es un nombre, Lempira es todo un pueblo! Lempira, vive y viene con nosotros desde el final de los olvidos.

Canadian Mining

Mayan Mam communities and families of San Miguel Ixtahuacan, in western Guatemala, have been harmed by Goldcorp Inc's mountain-top removal, open-pit, cyanide leaching gold mine.

Anti-Mining Activism

Mining corporations constantly try to expand their operations across Central America. But community members continue to resist in defense of their lives and environment.

Rights Action

Since 1995, Rights Action has been involved in activism aimed at critically understanding and changing unjust north-south, global economic, military and political relationships.
