A white background with a green rectangle at the top, which reads: Open call: Transterritorial Table. In the word TABLE, each letter has in the background an image of marches or protests, led by Indigenous people of Guatemala. In the white part, on the left side there are three images in gray tones, the first one of a young socialized Indigenous man with short hair weaving on a loom, the second image is of an adult socialized Indigenous woman with her traditional costume of her People with her arms raised upwards, and the third image is of a socialized Black woman with her right arm raised with a closed fist. Next to these images is the message: This is a virtual space to forge rebellious relationships, to build an organized and active trans-territorial diaspora, and to redistribute resources to Black, Indigenous, and racialized leaders and grassroots groups in Guatemala and the US. ¿Are you an activist, artist, or leader from the community, the grassroots, the heart?

Are you in the struggle to defend territory, community, and life? Do you create art to help us dream of other worlds? Do you write and research to articulate analyses and imaginaries of justice and resistance? Are you guided by love for your people, for the water, the air, the land? Then we invite you to apply to the Trans-Territorial Table. We call on organizers, activists, artists, leaders from the community, from the grassroots, from the heart.

The Trans-Territorial Table is a virtual space to forge rebellious relationships, to build an organized and active trans-territorial diaspora, and to redistribute resources to Black, Indigenous, and racialized leaders and grassroots groups in Guatemala and the US for your projects of transformation.

The purpose of this space is for grassroots groups and leaders to propose projects, connect with each other, and hold a knowledge exchange–of your projects, resistances, challenges, strategies, tactics, angers, joys, dignities, and more.
