August 11, 2009:
Global Action Day for Honduras by Via Campesina To the sisters and brothers of all the regions of Via Campesina Since the military coup -- after more than 38 days of untiring efforts by thousands of farmers, women, indigenous people, teachers, students, unionists, and ordinary citizens of the cities and the countryside to reverse it and to recover democracy and dignity -- the repression by the coup participants has not notched the fighting spirit of the heroic Honduran people. This struggle has now entered a crucial phase as the farmers movement and the National Front of Resistance Against the Coup d'Etat have summoned the social, union, and democratic movements to a National March that begins on the 5th of August and will culminate on the 11th of August in Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula. In support of this National March and our sister and brother farmers and all the Honduran people, Via Campesina calls on you to participate in a "Global Day of Action for Honduras," which will take place on the 11th of August of this year. We seek to mount strong solidarity efforts 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. We ask you to inform us about your plans of action and work for the "Day of Global Action for Honduras" as soon as possible. GLOBALIZE THE HOPE! GLOBALIZE THE STRUGGLE! Write to Via Campesina Honduras: Henry Saragih 11 de Agosto de 2009: DIA DE ACCIÓN GLOBAL POR HONDURAS A las hermanas y hermanos de todas las regiones de La Vía Campesina, A más de un mes del golpe militar en Honduras y a 38 días de una incansable lucha de millares de campesinos, mujeres, indígenas, maestros, estudiantes, sindicalistas, profesionistas y gente sencilla de las ciudades y del campo, para revertirlo y restaurar la democracia y la dignidad, la represión de los golpistas no ha mellado el espíritu de lucha del heroico pueblo hondureño. Esta lucha ha entrado ahora en una fase crucial por lo que el movimiento campesino hondureño y el Frente Nacional de Resistencia Contra el Golpe de Estado, han convocado a los movimientos sociales, sindicales y democráticos, a una Marcha Nacional que se inicia este día 5 de agosto y culminará el 11 de agosto en Tegucigalpa y San Pedro Sula. En apoyo a esta Marcha Nacional y a nuestras hermanas y hermanos campesinos y a todo el pueblo hondureño, La Vía Campesina les hace un llamado a un Día de Acción Global por Honduras, el 11 de agosto de este año, para desplegar la solidaridad más amplia llevando a cabo movilizaciones, actos políticos y culturales, acciones de presión y cabildeo y cualquier actividad posible que ayude al avance de la lucha popular hondureña en la derrota del golpe militar. Les solicitamos que nos informen a la menor brevedad posible de sus planes de acción y trabajo del Día de Acción Global de Honduras. ¡GLOBALICEMOS LA LUCHA, GLOBALICEMOS LA ESPERANZA! Henry Saragih, coordinador general de la Vía Campesina This call to action was issued by Via Campesina on 5 August 2009. |
