To tie in with the celebrations why not buy our classic Sandino t-shirt?  Throughout the long years of the Somoza dictatorships, and ever since, Sandinismo has become the rallying cry for freedom, self-determination, non-intervention and dignity for the Nicaraguan people.

Nicaragua Solidarity Campaign (NSC) works to address economic disadvantage in Nicaragua by channelling support to partner organisations and communities and building solidarity with them. Another major part of our work is educational: to disseminate information and raise awareness in the UK of social and economic issues affecting Nicaragua.

We carry this out through tours to Nicaragua, speaker tours here and campaigning activities. For example, for
our work on Fair Trade and Trade Justice follow this link >> We co-produce a magazine, Central America Report, and produce occasional briefings. NSC also supports Wales NSC, our local groups and 13 towns and communities with twinning links in Nicaragua. Since NSC became a charity our work with trade unions is carried out through the Nicaragua Solidarity Campaign Action Group (NSCAG) >>

NSC is a membership organisation with offices in London and Managua and a network of affiliated individuals and groups in England, Scotland and Wales.
