The National March for Water, Mother Earth, the Land and Life in Guatemala is continuing to its April 22 conclusion in Guatemala City. Amazingly, this movement of thousands of people demanding the end to pollution of water throughout the country is receiving little notice in the United States.  Yet it is U.S. and global companies that are polluting the water, misappropriating the land and displacing the indigenous people who have long lived there. Please spread the word!
