- Send a Letter to Congress
The killings of women and girls in Guatemala are rising at an alarming rate, and actions by the Guatemalan government to bring those responsible to justice are insufficient. A House Resolution condemning these brutal killings has been introduced by Representatives Solis (D-CA), Burton (R-IN), Lee (D-CA), Lantos (D-CA), and Engel (D-NY) urging both the United States and Guatemalan Governments to do more to end this human rights scandal. Urge your Representative to sign on to this important resolution, H.Res. 100!
