Areas of expertise
Rights Action works in Honduras and Guatemala in support of community-based land, environmental and human rights defenders resisting harms and (often deadly) violence caused by different sectors of the global economy: mining and hydro-electric dams; for-export production of African palm, sugarcane and bananas; tourism and the ‘sweatshop’ garment industry.

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. For almost 20 years, Grahame has co-facilitated the UNBC Geography field schools to Guatemala with Dr. Catherine Nolin.
