Today, July 14, there is a National Call-in Day in support of the Berta Cáceres Human Rights in Honduras Act (HR 5474). The bill would cut off U.S. funding and training of the Honduran “security” forces, as called for by the AFL-CIO and many human rights groups.
See if your Rep. is a co-sponsor of the bill.
If your Rep. is not, please call them now at (202) 224-3121. When you reach a staffer or leave a message, you can say something like:
“So-called U.S. security aid to Honduras is hurting Hondurans, not helping them. I urge you to co-sponsor HR 5474 to cut off U.S. funding and training of Honduran security forces.”
When you’ve made your call, please report it below.
If you haven’t yet signed our petition in support of the bill, you can do that here.
