Stand Up For Democracy and Environmental Justice In Honduras
The people of Honduras deserve a better life.Manifestacion Contra La Corrupcion del govierno de Honduras
Illegal logging in Honduras is destroying the rainforest there.
Rampant corruption in the Honduran government is allowing massive illegal logging to occur, even in "protected" parks such as the world-renowned Rio Platano Biosphere Reserve.
Manifestación Contra La Corrupción
The upcoming Honduran presidential election on November 27th gives us a chance to voice our support for true democracy and condemn corruption and deforestation! We need YOUR HELP - please join us in mobilizing for this demonstration. Let's make it clear that the global community will not support the spread of corruption!
