Dear Friend, You may have heard that Guatemalans are in a huge fight to protect their democracy.
Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei has forced more than two dozen independent judges, prosecutors and human rights defenders into exile for having the nerve to stand up against corruption and rights abuses.
The attack on the rule of law in Guatemala is a part of a systematic effort to roll back the progress that the country has made in holding military leaders accountable for human rights abuses and root out corruption that impoverishes ordinary Guatemalans.
Join us in asking the Biden-Harris Administration to apply tough financial sanctions on corrupt officials and oligarchs in Guatemala.
The Vice President and the U.S. State Department have criticized the Guatemalan government for threatening independent judges and prosecutors. But the U.S. needs to do more to support Guatemalan indigenous, faith and civic organizations fighting against abuses and corruption.
Support economic sanctions on corrupt officials and oligarchs in Guatemala.
Please sign and share this petition!
