Honduran environmental defender Juan López was killed after he protested to save tropical forests and rivers. Community leaders like Juan should not have to risk their lives to demonstrate against injustice. This killing demands a thorough and transparent investigation.
I'm devastated to learn of the killing of @guapinolre leader Juan López this weekend in Honduras.
Juan & the Guapinol have been threatened, harassed, & hunted for years as they've challenged toxic extractive projects owned by the Facussé family in Carlos Escaleras National Park.
Han asesinado a Juan López, ambientalista, padre y defensor de la tierra.
No hay palabras para lo que pasa por la mente y el corazón. ¡Siempre por aquí, compañero! ¡Justicia!
Honduran water defender Juan Lopez was murdered Saturday as he left church. He’s the 4th activist killed since 2023 for opposing illegal mining projects in the Guapinol area. I strongly support an independent, international investigation into these crimes.

What’s next? This: “The current moment demands (…) a robust faith voice in defense of compassion and our shared human dignity.”
Interfaith Movement is proud to know and partner with Laura. She’s one of many whom @GavinNewsom can pardon so she can stay and continue the amazing work she does for the community.

Very proud of all these faith leaders and organizations who continue to welcome the stranger and uphold compassion in times of immigration proposals that just see numbers and not people.
Also proud of the @HopeBorder and @interfaithimm teams for leading this effort.
⚠️El contrato minero entre INHGEOMIN y Lenir Perez venció hace más de una semana.
Corresponde al gobierno de Xiomara Castro hacer lo correcto, ya que existen pruebas mas que suficientes para anular definitivamente la licencia minera de Pinares/Emco.

@EdKrassen You are a journalist, why not investigate deeply the solutions. There are many answers out there and it wouldn’t take much but these days investigative journalism barely exists, just throwing out the same tired narrative. Maybe listen to a real journalist https://t.co/SGjln3W0Cw
Las elecciones en El Salvador se dan en el contexto de al menos tres factores: 1) el mayor número de privados de libertad del planeta; 1) un Estado de excepción que condiciona los derechos individuales para ejercer el voto con plena libertad; 3) la reelección es inconstitucional
A dos años del gobierno de @XiomaraCastroZ, las y los defensores del medioambiente siguen en riesgo en #Honduras. @gracielamargon escribe sobre los ataques a comunidades que defienden los ríos en el municipio de Tocoa desde hace años en @NewsweekEspanol.
