Ben Linder

Day Of The Internationalist Hero Announced In Nicaragua

May 1, 2026 Becca Renk Foster, Popular Resistance. , , ,
Under the shade tent in the schoolyard, staring solemnly ahead, stands a line of children wearing t-shirts with the image of the most famous North American in this mountainous Nicaraguan village. The picture on the t-shirt is not of a pop singer or a movie star, it’s the image of a skinny electrical engineer from Portland, Oregon: Ben Linder. “Benjamín Linder: ¡Presente! ¡Presente! ¡Presente!” The children call out, raising their little fists in the air to emphasize that Ben Linder's spirit is here with us today. Ben Linder moved to Nicaragua in 1983 to contribute his skills to the Sandinista Revolution.
