Sister and Brothers,
As some of you know, the DJPC has been actively asking our elected officials to support three Honduras human rights bills currently in Congress. We feel strongly that, if passed, these three bills will help to reduce human rights violations, save the lives of Hondurans, and allow their country to move toward a more democratic future. We are asking for your help in making that possible. It will only take a few minutes of your time.
Today, we are asking our two senators, Senator John Hickenlooper and Senator Michael Bennett, to become co-sponsors of S.388 The Honduras Human Rights and Anti-Corruption Act of 2021. This bill would suspend U.S. aid to both the police and the military until the Honduran government addresses the widespread and systematic human rights abuses being perpetrated by its security forces.
Please click on the senators name and leave your message for Senator John Hickenlooper and Senator Michael Bennet. You just need to ask them to co-sponsor S.388 and explain why you think that is important. It will only take a few minutes of your time.
