Solidarity Radio

Just as US President Biden and VP Harris are launching yet another plan to address migration from Central America, U.S. Congress representatives traveled to the region to hear from those most affected by U.S. policy in Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador.

The delegation, “Unearthing the Real Root Causes of Mass Migration from Central America” was led by Congress Rep. Ilhan Omar, who was joined by her colleagues, Rep. Cori Bush, Rep. Jamal Bowman, and Rep. Chuy Garcia. Accompanied by U.S. solidarity organizations and activists, the Congressional delegation traveled throughout Honduras and Guatemala to speak with grassroots, community-based organizations, and some government officials about the role of U.S. policy in the region.

In this episode of the Honduras Now Podcast, long-time solidarity activist Karen Spring features a report back organized by U.S.-based solidarity activist, including our Honduras Program Director, Allison Lira, who was a key player in coordinating the delegation. They discuss the Biden-Harris plan, share experiences from the trip, and reflect on U.S. policy in Central America.
