More tha 100 letters were sent to President Obama (some paper copy and some electronic); and email messages to Clinton and the Congressional delegation. At the event on August 11th, videos about the history of Honduras and the struggle for social justice were shown and the evening ended with a call to Radio Globo in Honduras where we were able to send our solidarity shout out to the Honduras people and their resistence organization live on the air.
