Call to Action
The Civil
Council of Popular and Indigenous Organizations of Honduras (COPINH) calls on
its communities and social movements, organizations and civil society to join
us in the “Justice for Berta NOW” Days of Artistic, Cultural and Spiritual
Mobilization that will take place September 1st-3rd in La Esperanza, Intibucá,
Honduras.
The objective
of this action is to share through mobilization, art and spirituality our cry
for justice for the assassination of our compañera
and sister Berta Cáceres Flores and to continue camping together in actions
to denounce the participation of Honduran institutions, private enterprise and
international banks in this crime.
During this
action we will continue to demand that the state accept an Independent Investigatory
Commission and the immediate and definitive cancellation of the deadly DESA-Agua
Zarca project.
We also call on
the international community to join in this action with public actions that
show support for these demands.
