Next Steps To: Presente Honduras *Hi Everyone ?* The Honduras Solidarity Network and its partners in the DC-based LAWG Honduras Subgroup made history last week by securing an unprecedented 108 signers to the Schakowsky House letter on human rights in Honduras. This is a stunning achievement! Equally stunning, the letter was promptly picked up by the *New York Times *with this excellent story: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/29/world/americas/lawmakers-ask-state-dept-to-review-support-for-honduras.html?_r=0 Attached is the official letter, which includes a paragraph on the recent beating of many protestors and some members of the National Congress of Honduras. Also attached is a copy of the press release making the letter public last Wednesday evening, May 28. Also attached the letter and press release *in Spanish*. The letter has already had a major impact in Honduras! An update on that will be emailed later from those who are monitoring it. *Next Step!* *Please email the New York Times link above and the final copy of the letter to the Congressional staffers* with whom you were in contact to *thank your Rep* for supporting this unprecedented effort in support of human rights and the rule of law in Honduras. Please do this *today or tomorrow*. A lesson learned? It takes a village. And what an amazing village of human rights activists who care about Honduras took action to make this happen! Thank you for your part in making this historic effort so successful. *Gary L. Cozette* *Honduras Solidarity Network ? Congressional Working Group* *Cell: 773.350.3518 <773.350.3518>* _______________________________________________ Presente-Honduras mailing list Post: Presente-Honduras at lists.mayfirst.org List info: https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/listinfo/presente-honduras To Unsubscribe Send email to: Presente-Honduras-unsubscribe at lists.mayfirst.org Or visit: https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/options/presente-honduras/proyectohondureno%40gmail.com You are subscribed as: proyectohondureno at gmail.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Este 28 de junio tambi?n rendimos homenaje a los m?rtires hombres y mujeres valientes, que han ofrendado su vida por defender el derecho a ser un pueblo libre, soberano y socialista. Estamos aqu? para decirle a la oligarqu?a sanguinaria, que Moraz?n camina con el pueblo hondure?o y que el pa?s ser? liberado. Desde el fat?dico golpe de Estado del 2009, el sufrimiento del pueblo Hondure?o se ha agudizado, por las permanentes violaciones a los derechos humanos, asesinatos, represi?n estatal, ?xodo masivo de migraci?n (incluido ni?os/as), robo del erario p?blico e impunidad. Honduras encabeza la lista de los pa?ses m?s violentos del mundo en donde 22 ciudadanos/as hondure?os/as son asesinados/as cada 24 horas. Miles de hondure?os han abandonado el pa?s en busca de mejores horizontes, huyendo de la violencia y las condiciones inhumanas de vida, aun arriesg?ndose a morir o quedar mutilados en la traves?a por el tren conocido como La Bestia. Seg?n estad?sticas p?blicas, desde el a?o 2013, Honduras es el pa?s de Centro Am?rica con mayor n?mero de migrantes y tristemente tambi?n es el pa?s con mayor n?mero de deportados desde los Estados Unidos. Este 28 de junio, condenamos los asesinatos cometidos contra dirigentes y miembros del FNRP/Partido Libre y la sociedad hondure?a en general y los atropellos por parte del ej?rcito y la polic?a militar contra los Diputados del Congreso Nacional de Honduras el pasado 13 de mayo. Exhortamos a la Resistencia Nacional conformada por todos los sectores de la sociedad hondure?a (sindicatos, campesinos, mujeres, juventud, estudiantes, profesionales, comunidad LGBT, grupos originarios, organizaciones defensoras de derechos humanos, grupos sociales, gar?funas, partidos pol?ticos, inmigrantes, intelectuales y medios de comunicaci?n) a cerrar filas y luchar unidos frente al aprendiz de dictador, Juan Orlando Hern?ndez, t?tere de la oligarqu?a asesina hondure?a y los grupos de poder confabulados con la derecha internacional. Responsabilizamos al r?gimen fraudulento actual (continuador del golpe de Estado) por la violencia generalizada, corrupci?n e impunidad que vive el pa?s, demandamos un alto a la violaci?n de los derechos humanos y exigimos justicia para las v?ctimas y castigo a los culpables. Como residentes de los Estados Unidos y Canad?, condenamos las pol?ticas de los gobiernos que en el pasado han apoyado y en el presente contin?an apoyando a la dictadura en Honduras y que, junto con las empresas de esos pa?ses imponen sus agendas antipopulares y anti-medio ambientales con la violencia y la corrupci?n. Apoyamos el derecho del pueblo hondure?o a luchar contra la represi?n y el abuso y nos solidarizamos con sus organizaciones. *?Resistimos y Venceremos!* *FNRP-Libertad y Refundaci?n, LIBRE Party,* *Department 19/USA-Canada and the Honduras Solidarity Network USA-Canada* *June 28, 2014 * *STATEMENT AGAINST VIOLENCE AND FOR THE DEFENSE OF HUMAN RIGHTS IN HONDURAS* We Honduran immigrants, residents in USA-CANADA organized in Collectives of the FNRP / LIBRE Party, and we, members of the Honduras Solidarity Network in the US and Canada on this June 28, 2014, the fifth anniversary of the military coup in Honduras, reaffirm our commitment to continue fighting, hand in hand with our brothers and sisters in Honduras who struggle for the fundamental, urgent and necessary changes in Honduran society. This June 28 we also pay tribute to the martyrs of the resistance, brave men and women, who have offered their lives to defend the right to be a free, sovereign and socialist county. We are here to tell the bloody oligarchy of Honduras, that Moraz?n walks with the Honduran people and that the country will be liberated. Since the brutal military coup of 2009, the suffering of the Honduran people has been exacerbated by the continuing violations of human rights, killings, state repression, mass exodus of migration (including children), theft of public funds and impunity. Honduras tops the list of the most violent countries in the world where 22 Honduran citizens are murdered every 24 hours. Thousands of Hondurans have left the country in search of better opportunities, fleeing violence and inhumane living conditions, even at the risk of being killed or being mutilated by the train known as The Beast in the crossing. According to public statistics, since 2013, Honduras is the Central American country with the highest numbers of migrants and sadly also the country with the largest number of deportees from the United States. This June 28, we condemn the murders of leaders and members of FNRP / LIBRE Party, the social movements and Honduran society in general and the abuses by the army and military police against the Congressmen and Women at the National Congress of Honduras on May 13. We urge the National Resistance, formed by all sectors of Honduran society (unions, peasants, women, youth, students, LGBT Community, indigenous groups, Human Rights Defense organizations, Social groups, Gar?funa, political parties, immigrants, intellectuals and media) to close ranks and fight together against the want-to-be dictatorship of Juan Orlando Hern?ndez, puppet of the Honduran assassin oligarchy and international power groups conjoined with the international right. We hold the current fraudulent regime (a continuation of the military coup) accountable for the widespread violence in the country; we demand an end to the violations of human rights, justice for the victims and punishment for the guilty. As residents of the United States and Canada we condemn the policies of those governments that have in the past and continue in the present to support the dictatorship in Honduras and which, along with corporations from those countries impose their anti-people and anti-environment agendas with violence and corruption. We support the right of the Honduran people to struggle against oppression and abuse and we stand in solidarity with them and with their organizations. *We resist and we shall overcome!* -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
