Global Day of Action for Honduras
Global Day of Action for Honduras

Tuesday, August 11, 2009

Since the military coup--after more than 40 days of untiring efforts by thousands of farmers, women, indigenous people, teachers, students, unionists and ordinary citizens of the cities and the countryside to revert it and to recover democracy and dignity -- the repression by the School of the Americas trained military and the coup plotters has not notched the fighting spirit of the heroic Honduran people.

This struggle has now entered a crucial phase as the National Front of Resistance Against the Coup d'Etat and the farmers movement have summoned the social, union and democratic movements to a National March that began on the 5 of August and will culminate on August 11 in Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula.

In support of this National March, we call you to participate in a "Global Day of Action for Honduras", which will take place on on Tuesday, August 11, 2009. We seek to support strong solidarity efforts in carrying out political and cultural mobilization, concrete actions, and political pressure and lobbying, as well as any and all possible activities that help advance the Honduran popular resistance in defeating this military coup.

2. People everywhere will be watching, and know if the golpistas stoop even lower, next Tuesday
to suppress, and break the spirits of the people. We WILL know about it, no matter how utterly they think they have blocked any word from escaping from their captive kingdom, any cry, and prayer for help.

Hope this weekend, and next week, and the future will be a time of the PEOPLE. Their world is coming, no matter how the parasites attempt to prevent it. They are doomed to fail, in time.
