Grassroots movements in Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador are saying YA BASTA//NO MORE to militarization and right-wing repression.
As Congress prepares to vote on a massive military spending bill - the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) - we need strong collective action to end U.S. complicity in state repression and human rights abuses in Central America (Read more below)
Thankfully, progressive leader Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) has heard these demands and introduced an amendment to the NDAA that would withhold U.S. military training and equipment for security forces in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.
We need as many reps as possible to co-sponsor and then vote in favor of this amendment. Just enter your information to make a quick call or send an email to your rep today!
