The migrant caravan, an upcoming book launch, and more: will you support NACLA?

Dear Naclista,

Have you read our latest dispatch from the thick of the migrant caravan as it makes its way to the U.S. border? If not, take a minute. It is the kind of reporting that you have relied on and come to expect from NACLA after 50 years: compelling, informative, on the ground, and most importantly, in solidarity with those seeking justice and rights against all odds.

This year, we’ve been at the forefront of developments across the region, from the U.S.-Mexico border to Brazil, as our web content has expanded and flourished to confront threats old and new in the Americas. Our coverage is more important than ever, as Brazil faces a rising wave of neo-fascism and border militarization reaches unprecedented heights, while Trump’s demonization of immigrants continues unabated.

As we celebrate our 50th anniversary, will you support NACLA in your end-of-year donations?

Your donation is fully tax-deductible. And, if you give $150 or more, we will send you a complimentary copy of our 50th anniversary issue—140 pages covering five decades of research on, commitment to, and solidaritywith justice in the Americas.

Thank you so much for following and supporting our work.

En solidaridad,

New York area Naclistas, don’t miss our upcoming event at Verso books on Thursday, November 29, for the New York launch of Dana Frank’s new book, The Long Honduran Night, from Haymarket Books. We hope to see you there!

	Flouted Justice for Berta Jackie McVicar   November 14, 2018 The trial against Berta Cáceres’ accused assassins has been riddled with irregularities and bias—and barred the victims' lawyers from participation. It is a tragic lost opportunity for justice in Honduras.

	The Desert of Asylum: From Internment to Disappearance Sophie Smith   Border Wars November 8, 2018 When state-sanctioned practices of child kidnapping, family internment, and indefinite detention cut off the possibility of seeking asylum at official ports of entry, Central American refugees are increasingly forced to take ever-more dangerous paths into the United States.
