✨ Apply Now: GAP Internacionalista 2026 – Solidarity in Action ✨
GAP Internacionalista is a unique opportunity for U.S.-based organizers to accompany Guatemalan defenders and communities. This presence helps deter violence and offers a deeply transformative experience, as accompaniers learn from communities that have resisted colonization and exploitation for generations.

At NISGUA, we seek organizers ready to live in Guatemala for a time, walk alongside grassroots movements, and build lasting, cross-border relationships—because organizing in solidarity means showing up and staying connected beyond the moment.

The audience includes many women wearing traditional Ixil clothing and woven headdresses. On the stage, a marimba band is set up to the right, and a banner related to genocide justice is displayed on the wall.
