Nicaragua Network

The Nicaragua Network has been organizing in solidarity with the people of Nicaragua for over 30 years. In February of 1979, the Network was founded to support the popular struggle to overthrow the 45 year US-supported Somoza family dictatorship, and after the July 19 victory, to support the efforts of the Sandinista Revolution to provide a better life for the nation's people. Thus, for over a quarter of a century, the Network has been a leading organization in the United States committed to social and economic justice for Nicaragua, Latin America and the world, based on respect for sovereignty and self-determination. The Network advocates for sound U.S. foreign policies that respect human rights and international law. The Nicaragua Network provides information and organizing tools to interested individuals and solidarity, sister city, and peace and justice committees across the U.S.

Publications include the weekly Nicaragua News Bulletin and occasional monographs. The Network organizes study tours and brigades to Nicaragua. Some important recent campaigns have been: exposure of US intervention in Nicaragua's elections, preventing a cut off of US aid to Nicaragua, support for banana workers affected by the pesticide Nemagon and for sugar workers suffering from kidney disease.
