For decades, the United States has treated Honduras as its “backyard,” continuously intervening in the internal affairs of the country while advancing policies of militarization and neoliberalism. These policies, while benefiting the United States and its corporations, have kept Honduras in a perpetual state of instability, marked by deeply entrenched dynamics of 

corruption, violence, and poverty that have forced hundreds of thousands to flee to the United States. On this delegation, participants will meet with grassroots organizations and communities that have been directly affected by U.S. sponsored militarization and dispossession.

In doing so, delegates will:

1) will gain a better understanding of U.S. foreign policy as a root cause of migration and will work together to generate collaborative strategies for addressing US intervention responsible for human rights abuses against Honduran communities and
2) develop and strengthen their advocacy skills and social justice frameworks and
3) build a community grounded in transnational solidarity, collective liberation, and political

friendship.  

​

We are excited to announce that this delegation is a joint collaboration between the Witness for Peace Solidarity Collective, Chicago Religious Leadership Network (CRLN) and the Inter-Faith Committee on Latin America (IFCLA). Folks based in Missouri are especially encouraged to apply. We invite you to join us on this collaborative delegation in efforts to deepen our commitment to social justice and transnational solidarity  and strengthen our collective power!
