....as capital city residents we also witness firsthand the results of ASJ's work. We see the impact of advocacy campaigns, how officials react to our reports, and how other civil society organizations, universities, churches and individuals join our efforts for a more just society...

...In a more just and peaceful El Progreso, local communities will have a voice and be actively involved in making decisions that affect their lives. I envision El Progreso as a place where all people can live with dignity and respect and without fear of violence or discrimination; where all communities can thrive together in an environment of harmony and cooperation.

...I am convinced the way to positively impact my community and country is to strengthen the capacities of my Garifuna brothers and sisters and other indigenous groups so that they are empowered and equipped to demand that the government respect human rights.
