It was Christmas Day when Aminta Cifuentes crossed into the United States seeking asylum to save her life. Aminta, a Guatemalan citizen, was fleeing her abusive husband. She had endured 10 years of violence.

Aminta had, in fact, called the police on her husband several times, but the officers told her they wouldn’t interfere in a marital relationship. So, she fled to the United States to save her life.

We back the right wing government in Guatemala that does not recognize women's rights. We overthrow elected governments that are socialist and DO recognize women's rights. Deal with the causes: Our support for weapons-buying fascists, worldwide.
