Honduras - The Witness for Peace Solidarity Collective (WFPSC) and the School of the Americas Watch (SOAW) recently received a delegation of members from the U.S. House of Representatives including Representatives Ilhan Omar (MN-05), Jesus “Chuy” García (IL-04), Cori Bush (MO-01), as well as representation from the office of Jan Schakowsky (IL-09) in Honduras.

The delegation met with President Xiomara Castro who is the first woman president of Honduras and was inaugurated in January following historic elections in which the Honduran people turned out in massive numbers to reject the corrupt U.S.-backed regimes that have devastated Honduras since the 2009 coup d’etat.
