July 8: Day of Solidarity with People of Honduras

July 7, 2009 - In addition to our Request for Solidarity and Prayerful Accompaniment for the people of Honduras, the sisters in the Caribbean, Central America and South America Community (CCASA) invite you to join them in marking Wednesday, July 8, 2009 as a Day of Solidarity with the sisters, associates and people of Honduras.

Please keep our sisters and the Honduran people in prayer. And please take a moment to call the White House and/or send a letter to President Obama asking his Administration:
• to work multilaterally, with the United Nations and Organization of American States, to return President Zelaya to Honduras and support the restoration of constitutional order;
• and to express unequivocal support for democracy and that human rights be respected.

Access a sample letter to President Obama here.

Invitation from the Sisters of Mercy CCASA Community Leadership Team

July 3, 2009 - In our Vision statement as CCASA Community, “we commit ourselves to confront our lives with the Gospel to witness and embody mercy in the world.” Among other things, “this will lead us……to live in solidarity with the poor people of today…… (and) to act in justice for the change of oppressive systems and structures, promoting a non-violent society.”

Today we seek to take one small but significant action to make real our vision. Moved by the turbulent occurrences of violence, loss of life, disruption and suspension of the democratic process and of constitutional rights in Honduras,

We, hereby, invite you to join us in marking Wednesday, July 8, 2009 as a DAY OF SOLIDARITY with the sisters, associates and people of HONDURAS

May our concerted energies for peace and justice to prevail encourage, strengthen and support our sisters and associates in this time of social and political upheaval.
