(see flyer below for more details)

Pepe is traveling throughout the US as part of a national tour organized by the Honduras Solidarity Network. Please come to learn about the brutal repression being carried out against the LGBT community in Honduras. But also learn about the heroic resistance of the Honduran people who are organizing against the illegal coup of 2009 and for a new society. Since 2009, over 80 mainly transgender women and gay men have been killed in Honduras.

The LGBT community and all the people of Honduras need your solidarity!

To learn more about the killings of our sisters and brothers please click on this article below.  But more important come hear directly from a Resistance leader who is heroically standing up to defend the Honduran people.

TRAVEL WITH THE IAC TO HONDURAS!In November, the Frente Libre Party will hold elections for Presidential Candidate Xiomara Castro, and Juan Barahona for Vice President. These elections are under jeopardy of being stolen by the ruling elite with the complicity of the U.S. government much like what happens in Mexico. In addition, resistance leaders and people in the movement face brutal repression. 

The IAC as well as the Honduras Solidarity Network will travel to Honduras in mid-November to observe this historical election and to show support for the Partido Liberal and the Honduran resistance.  We will send a message to the White House that the solidarity movement stands with the Honduran people, the Frente, and the resistance.  We will meet with labor leaders, women and human rights activists as well as with the Frente candidates.

Costs are approximately $1,500 which includes housing and flight. Fundraisers will be organized. For more details contact Teresa Gutiérrez.
