Revisit a critical conversation hosted by CESPAD, the Honduras Solidarity Network, and Global Exchange discussing the intense pre-election crisis Honduras faced just a few months ago. You’ll hear from:
Gustavo Irías, Executive Director of the Center for Democracy Studies (CESPAD), a Global Exchange partner leading a 150-person national and international electoral observation mission. Gustavo will discuss the pre-electoral crisis and share CESPAD’s work documenting and clarifying what is happening on the ground.
Wendy Cruz, from the campesino organization Via Campesina, will share how she, as an organizer, understands the unfolding electoral crisis from a non-partisan, social-movement perspective.
Karen Spring, Honduras-based Coordinator of the Honduras Solidarity Network (HSN). Karen has lived and worked in Honduras for over 15 years. Karen will help translate the stakes of this pre-electoral crisis in Honduras for an international audience seeking to understand why what happens in Honduras matters for the entire region — and how it shapes relations with other countries, particularly the United States.
Moderated by Laura Carlsen, a U.S.–Mexico dual citizen, analyst, and journalist who directs the Mexico City–based think tank Mira Feminisms and Democracies.
