In June 1997, NISGUA convened a broad national conference in Washington D.C. to reaffirm the importance of continuing U.S.-based solidarity work following the Peace Accords and to develop a direction for future program work post-conflict. More than 300 Guatemala activists and academics from across the U.S. gathered to hear from members of the popular and revolutionary movements in Guatemala and from U.S.-based advocates. The two-day conference was followed by a one-day meeting of NISGUA affiliates to re-set priorities and strategize about the future direction of the network.
