Harbury became particularly active and visible upon the disappearance and murder of her husband, a Mayan resistance leader, at the hands of CIA-paid Guatemalan officials in the early 1990s. She also has helped to advocate for Native Americans in the U.S. whose rights have been violated. She is the author of two books, "Bridge of Courage: Life Stories of the Guatemalan Compañeros and Compañeras" and "Searching for Everardo: A Story of Love, War and the CIA in Guatemala."
