Webinar, November 20, 5pm PT / 8pm ET: The battle surrounding the November 30, 2025, general elections in Honduras

Written By Grahame Russell

Hear directly from international human rights experts and Honduran social movement leaders about what’s at stake

As the U.S. government is again ramping up political and military pressures, and illegal economic sanctions against governments in Latin America not following the economic and political dictates of Washington and global corporations, investors and banks, Honduras is not escaping this aggressive interventionism.

Background: ‘Traditional elites’ in Honduras take aim at November 2025 general elections

Rights Action encourages folks to attend this webinar with long-time Rights Action colleague Karen Spring (of the Honduras Solidarity Network) and others.

Honduras is facing an intense pre-electoral crisis that is deepening as election day approaches. The politically charged moment is hard to monitor, even for the most astute, regardless of whether you are following the situation closely or not. Concerns about the integrity of the electoral process are surfacing almost daily from every sector of Honduran society, as well as from international entities like the OAS and officials in the U.S. government. 

So, how do we understand the complexities of the situation less than 2 weeks from Honduran election day (November 30, 2025)? What are some of the key takeaways of the pre-electoral crisis that can ground our understanding of the national situation?

Participants

  • Gustavo Irías, Executive Director of the Center for Democracy Studies (CESPAD), a Global Exchange partner leading a 150-person national and international electoral observation mission. Gustavo will discuss the pre-electoral crisis and share CESPAD’s work documenting and clarifying what is happening on the ground.

  • Wendy Cruz, from the campesino organization Via Campesina, will share how she, as an organizer, understands the unfolding electoral crisis from a non-partisan, social-movement perspective.

  • Karen Spring, Honduras-based Coordinator of the Honduras Solidarity Network (HSN). Karen has lived and worked in Honduras for over 15 years. Karen will help translate the stakes of this pre-electoral crisis in Honduras for an international audience seeking to understand why what happens in Honduras matters for the entire region — and how it shapes relations with other countries, particularly the United States.
