The activists met with many groups in Nicaragua after the election of Violeta Chamorro and the Contra government. They explain how people feel as though they are still in wartime because of economic crisis and increases in hunger and disease. The activists lament the abandonment of many Sandinista institutions and massive firings under the new regime, but they say there is no sense of defeat among the people, who declare, “Not one step back.”
