#NuestroPropioNorte (lit. Our Own North)
#NuestroPropioNorte (lit. Our own North) is a civil society initiative that also relies on the support of religious associations and the private initiative. This innovation is carried out with two main purposes: to create a meeting space for migrant leaders, returnees, and organized civil society in the United States and Guatemala; and the agreement upon common points of incidence in the institutional responses given to the phenomenon of migration, deportation and return. It includes a digital information campaign, the organization of artistic installations, of summits and of spaces for dialogue. Within the framework of the "I Summit" and as part of the digital campaign, around 170 migrants and returnees agreed on a manifesto of five demands to the Guatemalan State, which included: speeding up the process of delivery of identity documents, the implementation of the right to vote abroad, political inclusion of returnees, and political and consular assistance to Guatemalans protected by the DACA program.
