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.
