Funding and Supporting Human Rights & Justice, Land & Environment Defense Struggles in Guatemala & Honduras
Rights Action works (mainly) in Honduras and Guatemala in support of justice struggles for war crimes and human rights violations; in support of land, environment and human rights defense struggles, resisting harms and often deadly violence caused by different sectors of the unjust global economy: mining and hydro-electric dams; for-export production of African palm, sugarcane and bananas; tourism and ‘sweatshop’ garment factories.
Education & Activism
Rights Action carries out education and activism work in the U.S. and Canada addressing how our governments, companies and investors often contribute directly to and benefit from human rights violations, repression, environmental harms, exploitation, corruption and impunity in these countries.
Direct Funding
Rights Action channels your donations and grants directly to people suffering human rights violations, evictions and harms caused by the corrupt, repressive, U.S. and Canadian-backed regimes in Honduras and Guatemala, and their global economy business partners, as they fight to stay in their communities, on their lands, defending their human rights and the environment.
