After two years of threats, persecution and attacks, the forces of capital and the Honduran State dared murder Berta Cáceres. The leader of the Lenca people and COPINH is and will continue to be one of the greatest examples of indigenous, feminist and popular activism of our times.
Indigenous, farmer and environmental movements in defense of human rights in Latin America and the world are outraged by this atrocious crime. We unite our voices demanding justice, that these death governments stop and that the autonomy and rights of the peoples are prioritized over profits and despotic powers.
