Democracy is under attack
in Honduras and Honduran immigrants under attack in the U.S.

Join Us & Register Today!

Join Alianza Americas and Honduran journalists and human right advocates in a three-city tour to shed light on what is happening post-election in Honduras—allegations of fraud, a muzzling of media in the country, and state-backed violence against protestors that has left more than 30 people dead.

We will also discuss how the unraveling of democracy in Honduras affects Hondurans living in the US, particularly the 57,000 Honduran TPS holders who may lose their status this spring. Learn how you can support the defenders of democracy in Honduras and immigrant communities in the US.

The tour will make stops in Los Angeles (February 19), New York City (February 20-21) and Washington, DC (February 22-23)
