SUMMARY:Honduras Solidarity Webinar Part II
DESCRIPTION:This is the Second in four part Webinar series held every Tuesday from March 15 – April 5\,  5 PM PST.\n \nREGISTER FOR THE MARCH 22 EVENT HERE \nFrom the late 1800’s\, the United States has been destabilizing countries in Central America\, including Honduras\, through political\, corporate\, and military intervention. As recent as in 2009\, the U.S. stood by while the Honduran military violently ousted President Manuel Zelaya. Systemic inequality and the ensuing violence – including the criminalization and assassinations of hundreds of Honduran activists– has led to a significant increase in Honduran migration toward the U.S. over the past decade. \nWith the victory of Xiomara Castro\, the first woman head of state in Honduras\, in the elections of November 28 2021\, the country experienced a historic step forward for the popular resistance that coalesced after the 2009 coup. Still\, there are many uphill battles in the struggle for justice and dignity for the people of Honduras. The previous administrations since the 2009 coup betrayed their own people by selling the country’s land\, water\, and minerals to foreign investors; brutalizing of activists by the police and military with US-supplied funding and training; and installing maximum-security prisons designed after those existing in the US. \nIn this four-part webinar series\, we will be looking at how corruption\, land dispossession\, environmental degradation\, and systemic human rights abuses are the consequences of neoliberal (global free-market capitalist) policies and the legacy of U.S. imperialism. We at Honduras Solidarity Network and the InterReligious Task Force on Central America and Colombia invite you to join this series to gain a deeper understanding around these issues\, as well as what can be done by people living in the Global North to show solidarity. \nMarch 22: Transnational “development” – How the Honduran government enables US extraction of resources and exploitation of their people \nREGISTER HERE \nThroughout the 20th century and until present day\, Honduran leadership\, with the support of the United States\, has sold out land and water concessions to transnational corporations. This has happened through countless avenues\, including the Banana Wars one hundred years ago and the signing of the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) in 2006. This pattern has never ceased. Since the 2009 coup\, the authoritarian government has granted hundreds of concessions to foreign companies to extract minerals\, build dams\, create luxury resorts\, and log timber. One of the most obvious examples of this exploitation and extraction is the signing of the 2013 Zones for Economic Development and Employment (ZEDE) law\, which allows the government to further sell off Honduran land\, including collectively-held ancestral lands of Afro-descendant and Indigenous peoples. Foreign investors\, mostly from the US and Canada\, are moving in to develop autonomous charter cities where the government will have no jurisdiction. President Xiomara Castro had made it one of her main election campaign promises to overturn this law. \nJoin this webinar to examine the role the US government and corporations play in seizing land and waterways from communities in Honduras\, the popular resistance movement against the ZEDEs\, and the challenges faced by the new presidential administration and the people of Honduras in the current political landscape. \n

SUMMARY:2022 Liberation Lab: A Teach-in on Abolition and Environmental Justice
DESCRIPTION:The InterReligious Task Force on Central America will be co-hosting a free teach-in on Abolition and Environmental Justice with Case Western Regional University. \nThe 22nd Annual Social Justice Teach-In is a great opportunity for high school and college students–as well as people of all ages– to learn about critical human rights issues and to practice hands-on organizing and communication skills to work for peace\, justice and human rights—here and across the hemisphere. In pre-pandemic times\, this annual event has attracted up to 850 attendees\, mostly from area high schools and colleges\, providing participants with information\, practical skills\, and resources to support social justice programming at their schools\, places of worship\, and other community groups. This year will be our second virtual Teach-In. While we do not expect attendance numbers on par with in-person figures from recent years past\, having this event online will allow people to participate from across the US and around the world. \nVisit https://teachin22.eventbrite.com to register!

SUMMARY:Honduras Solidarity Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:Join Honduras Solidarity Network and IRTF in a four-part webinar series from March 15 – April 5 to learn from Honduran activists about the effects of US imperialism on people of the Global South. \nFrom the late 1800’s\, the United States has been destabilizing countries in Central America\, including Honduras\, through political\, corporate\, and military intervention. As recent as in 2009\, the U.S. stood by while the Honduran military violently ousted President Manuel Zelaya. Systemic inequality and the ensuing violence – including the criminalization and assassinations of hundreds of Honduran activists– has led to a significant increase in Honduran migration toward the U.S. over the past decade. \nWith the victory of Xiomara Castro\, the first woman head of state in Honduras\, in the elections of November 28 2021\, the country experienced a historic step forward for the popular resistance that coalesced after the 2009 coup. Still\, there are many uphill battles in the struggle for justice and dignity for the people of Honduras. The previous administrations since the 2009 coup betrayed their own people by selling the country’s land\, water\, and minerals to foreign investors; brutalizing of activists by the police and military with US-supplied funding and training; and installing maximum-security prisons designed after those existing in the US. \nIn this four-part webinar series\, we will be looking at how corruption\, land dispossession\, environmental degradation\, and systemic human rights abuses are the consequences of neoliberal (global free-market capitalist) policies and the legacy of U.S. imperialism. We at Honduras Solidarity Network and the InterReligious Task Force on Central America and Colombia invite you to join this series to gain a deeper understanding around these issues\, as well as what can be done by people living in the Global North to show solidarity. \nFor detailed descriptions of each webinar\, follow this link. \nMarch 15\, 8 PM (Eastern): Where are we now? \nREGISTER HERE \nThe elections of November 28\, 2021\, became a historic event for Honduras. We see Xiomara Castro’s electoral victory as another step in the popular resistance that preceded the 2009 coup. This victory resulted from the work of a coalition that spanned the political spectrum in Honduras to oppose the re-election of newly-displaced dictator\, Juan Orlando Hernandez. It is also because of the countless sacrifices of criminalized and murdered activists that the people of Honduras can continue to resist the harmful impacts of the U.S. and Canada-backed neoliberal model (global free-market capitalist). \nThe Honduran people are working to build a new country with justice and dignity. Join this webinar to gain a deeper understanding of the current political landscape in Honduras after the election of President Xiomara Castro\, the new foreign policy interests of the U.S. and Canada towards Honduras\, and what it means now to build solidarity with the people of Honduras. U.S.-Honduran solidarity. \n
