Speaker: Grahame Russell, international human rights activist and co-author of “Testimonio: Canadian mining in the aftermath of genocides in Guatemala”
Rights Action, founded in 1995 by Grahame Russell and Annie Bird, was born out of the work of Guatemala Partners and its predecessors – GHRSP and PEACE for Guatemala – that during the 1980s and early 90s provided funding and support for the huge number Guatemalans (a majority being Mayan) violently displaced from their homes and communities by the U.S.-backed repression, many forced to flee into exile.
Rights Action supports education, legal work and activism to hold accountable the U.S. and Canadian governments, and our companies and investors that oftentimes cause and profit from exploitation and poverty, environmental destruction, repression and violence, corruption and impunity in Honduras and Guatemala.
Free and open to the public. Canisius College Science Hall at Main and Delevan near the NFTA metro station. Please Note: one parking lot is closed there during construction, but there is street parking along Main Street or in the parking lot by the M&T bank.
