We have heard about the crisis of so many Honduran children and youth trying to cross the border into our country. We hear very little about the current crisis in Honduras itself that has reached epic proportions since the military coup that took place in 2009.

Padre Melo is a Jesuit priest, human rights advocate and director of Radio Progreso.an independent, progressive radio station for social justice in Honduras. At this event, he will speak to the mass migration of the Honduran people and explain how US militarism is playing a key role.

Organized by the Interfaith Council for Peace & Justice (Latin American Task Force) and the St. Mary Student Parish; Co-sponsored by the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies

Speaker:
Father Ismael Moreno (Padre Melo), Compañía de Jesús, Director of Radio Progreso
