In 2022, NISGUA organized a transnational delegation of U.S. Congress members to Honduras and Guatemala to examine the root causes of forced migration. Delegates met with survivor organizations, Indigenous Authorities, and communities resisting extractive projects, learning about state violence, impunity, and neoliberal resource extraction. Through these exchanges, they learned about state violence, impunity, criminalization, and the impacts of neoliberal resource extraction. The visit strengthened cross-border solidarity and advanced policy commitments to support human rights defenders.
