Urgent Action: Human Rights Crisis in Honduras
Tens of thousands of Hondurans have taken to the streets protesting what they feel to be the undermining of their democracy. Please take action by calling on Minister of Foreign Affairs Chrystia Freeland to take a strong stand concerning electoral fraud, repression and violence in Honduras.
