Radio Globo Honduras

Those few folks who might drift past this Una Voz por lo Silvestre blog from time to time have probably noticed that I am not posting many photos or news here in the last months. Nevertheless, I have continued to blog with regularity as an important part of my position as the Patagonia Campaign Coordinator with International Rivers. You can check out that newer blog right here, and stay up to date on our work to protect rivers in Patagonia from massive hydroelectric development.

I am inspired this evening to rapidly post a link to an internet broadcast of radio news programming supporting the resistance to the military coup in Honduras. Radio Globo Honduras has been an amazing source of news and insight into the non-violent resistance to the military golpe del estado that occurred on June 28. I highly recommend giving a regular listen to Radio Globo Honduras, as a means of getting a true picture of what is happening in this small yet critical Central American nation.

While listening online I have heard on the street reports of many amazing political actions, even accounts of violent repression of protests by the military regime, making for absolutely breathtaking radio. Radio Globo Honduras has been a total inspiration to my community radio sensibilities, as they stay on the air amidst threats from the military regime to shut down their broadcasting, and remain firm in their opposition to the golpe. Not only that, last Saturday they played several hours of great cumbia--definitely a revolution that I can be a part of!

This is a must listen for anyone who is fascinated by how community radio can contribute to social movements.
