She has lived and worked in Honduras since 2009 and works closely with community-based organizations affected by US and Canadian foreign policy and investments.

Due to her husband having health problems and being threatened with imprisonment, Karen Spring has had to return to Honduras.
She will not be at the scheduled event on Sunday September 22. Instead, we will show a video which Karen has prepared since she cannot be there in person.
Rick Sterling, from Task Force on the Americas, will describe the background and current critical situation in Honduras and answer questions.
