Description

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. The episode features a report back organized by U.S.-based activists that are part of the Central American diaspora and that were key players in coordinating the delegation. They discuss the Biden-Harris plan, share experiences from the trip, and reflect on U.S. policy in Central America. Check out our Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter page for more information & details about this issue and everything Honduras related.Thanks for listening!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/honduras-now-podcast/donations
