Guatemala: The Peaceful Anti-Mining Resistance at "La Puya" Celebrates Two Years of Struggle

The celebration kicked off with a massive procession from the town of San Jose del Golfo to La Puya.  Nearly a thousand people participated: families, religious leaders, school groups, a marching band, social movement and human rights activists. They carried banners asking important questions such as: “What would YOU do without clean air and pure water?”

At La Puya, the crowds gathered around a makeshift stage to hear invited speakers.  Angelica Choc, human rights defender and widow of assassinated activist Adolfo Ich, praised the women of La Puya for being “an inspiration for communities throughout the country.”
