Project Description
Trump 2.0 and Guatemala
Graffiti in Guatemala City’s Zone 1, a few blocks away from the Presidential Palace, where Rubio and Arévalo met. Translation: “The crime is 1954. No one is illegal on stolen land. Marco wants to be Rubio (blonde) just like Trump.” (Picture by NISGUA, February 5, 2025).
As Trump returns to power, our new analysis exposes how U.S.-Guatemala agreements threaten vulnerable communities through mass deportations and exploitation of resources. Through powerful testimonies from Indigenous leaders fighting for territorial rights and messages of solidarity with the Guatemalan diaspora, we illuminate the transnational resistance taking root. From ADH’s fight for community water rights to CODIDENA’s successful resistance against mining extraction, these stories reveal how communities are protecting vital resources despite increasing pressure. Join our movement for justice that transcends borders — dive deeper into Guatemala’s ongoing struggle for sovereignty and dignity.
