In loving memory of Rubén Herrera, ADH General Coordinator
Beloved community, we write to you with broken hearts to tell you that Rubén Herrera of the Departmental Assembly of Peoples of Huehuetenango (ADH) passed away on July 22.
Many generations of NISGUA comrades had the honor of accompanying Rubén and learning first hand from his revolutionary principles and praxis.

From the U.S. to Central America: Asylum, Deportations, and COVID-19

No safe third country agreements with Central America!
The agreements give the U.S. power to deport asylum-seekers to Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador even if they are not from these countries. To stop these inhumane and illegal agreements, we need major people power. Join us!
