Alliance for Global Justice

What Alliance for Global Justice does

Alliance for Global Justice (AFGJ) is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization incorporated in Arizona in 1998, headquartered at 225 E 26th St., Tucson. Its organizational lineage traces to the 1979 Nicaragua Network, and the entity emerged when that network transferred its assets into the newly created Alliance to expand scope from Nicaragua-specific solidarity work to global justice advocacy. The organization builds and sustains grassroots movements for social change and economic justice, with primary emphasis on Latin America solidarity (Nicaragua, Venezuela, Honduras, Cuba, Colombia), anti-US militarism, participatory democracy, and ecological sustainability.

AFGJ's programmatic offering is structured around six thematic desks (Latin America Solidarity, Peace/Anti-War and Liberation, Eco-Solidarity, Respect for Democracy, Human Rights and the USA, and Prison Imperialism/Infrastructures of Empire), supported by two regular publications — NicaNotes (521+ archived issues) and Venezuela & ALBA Weekly (411+ archived issues) — plus e-books, webinars, and on-the-ground delegations to Latin America. The Global Justice Center, repurposed from the historic Star Dust Lounge in 2013, operates as a shared office and event space in Tucson for allied social justice organizations. AFGJ also serves as fiscal sponsor to over 90 economic, social justice, and human rights projects worldwide that lack their own tax-exempt status.

The organization does not develop proprietary technology products; its infrastructure is built on a WordPress website (afgj.org), email newsletters, and standard social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, X at @afgj_org). Revenue is generated through individual donations and foundation contributions, fiscal sponsorship administrative fees from its 90+ sponsored projects, earned revenue from organized delegations and tours, and bequests and special events. The organization explicitly does not receive any state, local, or federal government funding and operates under non-hierarchical democratic governance with Co-Coordinators and a board structure.
