The Cracked Pillars of

‘Root Cause Strategy’

This project focuses first on the current trial of former president Juan Orlando Hernández (JOH), who was the US backed president of Honduras now being tried for drug trafficking. We will produce a dossier based on analysis of this case including preceding trials, and any funding from U.S. to operatives of the JOH regime. This project will also begin to unpack the "five pillars" of the 'Root Cause' strategy proposed by the Biden-Harris administration to show how the document fails to include U.S. intervention as a root cause of corruption and violence while ignoring legitimate democratic resistance to CAFTA-DR in the region. Media varies.

Meeting Time: Fridays 10am-11am
