As I write this, thousands of Guatemalans from student, campesino, and feminist organizations are participating in a national strike to demonstrate their opposition to recent political developments that threaten the country's institutions and raise grave concerns for the safety and security of social and environmental activists. For a recap of the political crisis that has been unfolding since late last month, read our recent timeline and analysis of events. For coverage of today's strike, follow us Twitter, where our Guatemala team will be posting live updates from Guatemala City's central plaza.
In solidarity,
