Subject: [Presente-Honduras] Correction: Schakowsky Letter on Honduras -
108 Signers! Next Steps
To: Presente Honduras <presente-honduras at lists.mayfirst.org>


*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*
