Quixote Center Announcement

	

Dear Friend,

*Accompany the people of Honduras*

* *

*Join a Quixote Center Delegation*

*June 24th to July 1^st , 2010*

 

 

The people of Honduras request our accompaniment as they mark the first 
anniversary of the coup d'état and emergence of the Honduran Resistance 
Movement. After one year of relentless repression, the resistance 
movement is strong, resilient and advancing the dream of social change. 

 

Tragically, repression remains strong as well.  Yesterday, as a 
delegation of Honduran lawyers testified about human rights abuses 
before the Interamerican Human Rights Commission of the OAS in 
Washington DC, a group of hooded men entered a middle school in 
Tegucigalpa, assassinating a teacher, who was riddled with bullets at 
close range in front of his colleagues and students. 

 

On June 28^th , the people of Honduras will show their determination to 
continue resisting the coup by holding a national consultation - where 
people will cast their vote on the question of holding "National 
Inclusive and Popular Constitutional Assembly."

 

The *Quixote Center Accompaniment Delegation* will serve as observers to 
this process, reporting on what we find and providing alternative voices 
to the Honduran and U.S. media.

 

*Estimated Cost: *The cost of the trip will include RT airfare to 
Honduras, plus $700 for in country expenses (food, lodging, transport, 
program set up, translation etc)

* *

*Participants:  *Those interested in participating should have some 
experience traveling in a developing country or zone of conflict and 
ability to manage stress in a fluid situation. Spanish is helpful but 
not essential.  Participants are encouraged to engage in advocacy work 
following the trip.  For more information and to apply, contact Jenny 
Atlee jennya at quixote.org <mailto:jennya at quixote.org>

Thank you!
