About Nicaragua Solidarity Campaign Action Group (NSCAG)
The Nicaragua Solidarity Campaign Action Group (NSCAG) is a continuation of UK – Nicaragua solidarity set up in the name of the Nicaragua Solidarity Campaign (NSC) in 1978 in solidarity with Sandinista Nicaragua.
NSC will close later this year (around April or May) but UK – Nicaragua solidarity will continue through the work of NSCAG.
We campaign in defence of Nicaragua’s sovereignty, right to self-determination and right to live in peace.
We support social, economic and environmental justice in Nicaragua through championing Nicaragua’s successes in reducing poverty and the role played by the trade unions and the social economy.
We work in solidarity with trade unions, co-operatives and organisations representing the social economy by promoting their work and linking them with like-minded UK organisations.
We reject illegal sanctions and external aggression, in particular by the United States, and any attempts to thwart the will of the people of Nicaragua through ousting their democratically elected government.
We carry out this work through:
- Promoting an understanding of the situation in Nicaragua and building active support in the UK trade union movement
- Channelling political, financial, and moral solidarity to our partner organisations in Nicaragua
- Fostering and maintaining links of support and solidarity between UK and Nicaraguan trade unions in order to share knowledge and experience and enhance mutual understanding.
