Stories of Resistance: Root Causes of Migration in Honduras
A Report back
May 5, 2019
Buena Vista United Methodist Church, Alameda, California
____
On March 18-25, a delegation of nearly 75 faith leaders and immigrant justice advocates, mostly from the United States, and several joining from South America, traveled to Honduras to meet with grassroots and religious partners in order to more deeply understand the root causes of migration that have spurred thousands to flee Honduras.
The international, interfaith delegation met with organizations working and advocating for the rights of migrants and explored factors that are forcing migrants to flee, including: violence, environmental degradation, drug cartels, organized crime, corrupt security forces, and impunity for ongoing human rights violations.
Reverend Deborah Lee from Interfaith Movement for Human Integrity along with a panel of delegates will share inspiring images and stories of resistance from Honduran community partners in their defense of land and life, and discuss how we can support their resistance.
