Despite the continued threats they face\, the AJR organizes to end the impunity enjoyed by the politicos and military brass that reigned over one of the hemisphere's bloodiest genocide in modern times.
The key target of AJR's organizing\, Efrain Rios Montt - the coup-launching\, evangelical dictator who ruled over the murder of an estimated 70\,000 indigenous people from 1982-1983 - is poised for election to Congress in September. The AJR is clamoring for Guatemala to try Rios Montt on charges of genocide - a trial in which the AJR would provide the critical testimony as witnesses and survivors of his crimes.
Austinite Jordan Buckley will reflect on ten months of living in AJR villages as an accompanier with the Network in Solidarity with the People of Guatemala (NISGUA)\, during which time he also published interviews and stories online (under the name Elias Lawless) for Austin IndyMedia\, WireTap Magazine\, the Nation\, Proper Gander\, and Upside Down World\, among others.
He will discuss the role of US politics\, evangelism and neoliberalism as they relate to the genocide\, as well as how North American allies can respond to the AJR's call for international solidarity.
