Last fall, U.S.-based transnational mining company Aura Minerals destroyed a 200-year-old community cemetery belonging to the Indigenous Mayan Chortí community of Azacualpa in Honduras. The ongoing expansion of the San Andres gold mine now threatens to forcibly displace the community of Azacualpa, contaminate vital water sources for nearby communities, and criminalize Indigenous leaders. Despite well-documented human rights violations, U.S.-based refineries continue to buy gold from this mining project.
On Wednesday, February 1 at 5:30pm CST/ 6:30pm EST, join the Witness for Peace Solidarity Collective to hear directly from the Azacualpa mining resistance and to learn about actions you can take to participate in the struggle against destructive extractive projects in Honduras.
