Breaking: Honduran Indigenous Leader Berta Cáceres Assassinated, Won Goldman Environmental Prize
March 03, 2016

Honduran indigenous and environmental organizer Berta Cáceres has been assassinated in her home. She was one of the leading organizers for indigenous land rights in Honduras.

In 1993 she co-founded the National Council of Popular and Indigenous Organizations of Honduras (COPINH). For years the group faced a series of threats and repression.

According to Global Witness, Honduras has become the deadliest country in the world for environmentalists. Between 2010 and 2014, 101 environmental campaigners were killed in the country.

In 2015 Berta Cáceres won the Goldman Environmental Prize, the world’s leading environmental award. In awarding the prize, the Goldman Prize committee said, “In a country with growing socioeconomic inequality and human rights violations, Berta Cáceres rallied the indigenous Lenca people of Honduras and waged a grassroots campaign that successfully pressured the world’s largest dam builder to pull out of the Agua Zarca Dam.”

Please address my question. What about THIS woman? Does Hillary Clinton's support for the fascist coup in Honduras have nothing at all to do with the fascist death squads in Honduras--in your opinion?

I am a woman, too, been fighting against sexism all my life. I once supported Hillary Clinton and still have sympathy for her as a woman and as a human being. But I see connections between Clinton's actions as Sec of State and this horrifying death--not direct, of course, but as the result of a policy that unleashed the death squads in Honduras against entirely innocent, activist women such as this: Berta Cáceres.

What I see in the OP-linked article is obliviousness to the fate of women like Berta Cáceres, who die as a consequence of U.S. support for those who wanted her dead. To be concerned ONLY about feminist issues in your own life, to be so wrapped up in yourself, that you don't even SEE this, strikes me as obliviousness. You can be FOR Hillary and still be concerned about this, and maybe even raise the issue with her.

I see too much, and I can't support her. But you and other Hillary supporters could do some good by expressing your concern and at least asking questions. Berta Cáceres' life is at least worth a question, a raising of the issue. It might save some other woman's life, if Clinton were to express sorrow at this death. She has power and clout in Honduras. She could conceivably stop this kind of violence.

Take a look at Berta Cáceres' photo at the link above. Read of her amazing accomplishments. Is this woman's life not worth a question?
