2/2 The battle isn’t just political; it’s a fight for truth, fairness, and the hopes of the people who voted for change. Let’s stand in solidarity with those fighting for justice. #Guatemala #bernardoarévalo #semilla

1/2 The political turmoil in Guatemala is a stark reminder of the fragile balance between justice and power. As President Bernardo Arévalo face possible charges and his party, Semilla, is declared illegal by corrupt courts, the future of democracy is at risk. #Guatemala #semilla

The recent attacks in Río Tebernal, Guatemala, are a horrific assault on the indigenous community and must be unequivocally condemned.

I urge the @StateDept to investigate these violent acts thoroughly, including if the perpetrators were U.S.-trained or using U.S. weapons.

3/3 We must remember Laken for who she was, not just as a talking point in political agendas. Justice should never be partisan. #LakenRiley #LakenRileyAct

[Guatemala Solidarity Project @SolidarityGuate]

2/3 The Laken Riley Act, introduced in the wake of her passing, has been swept into debates over immigration rather than focusing on real solutions for public safety.

1/3 Laken Riley’s tragic death should be about honoring her life and seeking justice—not turning her name into a political tool.

2/3…it was the result of years of resistance and legal battles led by the Indigenous Maya Ixil Authorities. On February 20, 2024, Ak’ul officially celebrated the return of its communal land, closing a painful chapter of dispossession.

1/3 Nearly four decades after being violently displaced during Guatemala’s Internal Armed Conflict, the Ixil community of Ak’ul in Nebaj, Quiché, has reclaimed its ancestral land. This victory was not a gift from the government—

@repdeliaramirez Huge respect to Congresswoman @repdeliaramirez for condemning evictions and destruction of homes in Rio Tibernal. Her call for the State Department to investigate US involvement in these attacks is a critical step toward accountability and justice. #guatemalasolidarity

[Congresswoman Delia C. Ramirez @repdeliaramirez]

Whether in Guatemala or Humboldt Park, land rights are central to the safety, sustainability, and sovereignty of local and indigenous communities. 

That is why I am alarmed by the March 5 eviction in Río Tebernal and the destruction of nearly 50 family homes. 

Those responsible for the violence must be held accountable. The State Department must swiftly investigate the attacks, including whether US equipment or training was used in the violent events.

3/3 Call your representatives, flood their inboxes, and demand justice NOW. We won’t sit idly by while innocent lives are destroyed. Use your voice, make your call, and be the change.

2/3 It’s time to rise up, demand accountability, and dismantle the systems that enable such cruelty.

1/3 Mahmoud Khalil’s treatment is a direct result of a system that thrives on injustice—this cannot stand. We will not be silent while innocent lives are crushed by corruption and oppression.
