Wednesday, May 12 th, a group of 10 UNBC students and Dr. Catherine
Nolin traveled to Guatemala City to begin a two-week human rights
delegation-style tour of Guatemala. We visited various organizations, learning
first hand of the oppression and resistance struggles that people in Guatemala
face ... as a matter of course, as part of their daily fare.
The first week was co-facilitated by Grahame Russell of Rights Action.
The following summary of our first week is written by Grahame:
It is increasingly obvious that a global and historical perspective is needed
to understand the structural injustices against the majority population in a
place like Guatemala—a "national" perspective is not sufficient. What is also
needed is an activist vision and agenda aimed at building global
alliances—people to people - to end local-to-global injustices ... One world,
one solution.
