On Thursday, March 28th, the new version of the Berta Cáceres Human Rights in Honduras Act was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives, and your Representative was among the first Congresspeople to show their support for this landmark legislation! The Berta Cáceres Act was originally introduced in 2016, two months after the assassination of beloved Honduran Indigenous and feminist leader, Berta Cáceres. The bill states that "The Honduran police are widely established to be deeply corrupt and to commit human rights abuses, including torture, rape, illegal detention, and murder, with impunity” and that the military has committed violations of human rights. The bill would halt U.S. security aid to Honduras until human rights violations committed by its security forces cease and their perpetrators are brought to justice. Please take a moment to e-mail or call your Representative to thank them for their leadership in demanding justice for Berta and many others in Honduras. In appreciation, The WFP Solidarity Collective. https://actionnetwork.org/letters/urge-your-rep-to-speak-out-on-10th-anniversary
