DESCRIPTION:Dana Frank speaks on:\n\nResistance, Repression, and Awakening:\nThe 
 Transformation of the Honduran People since the Coup of June 28, 
 2009\n\nThursday, March 11, 7:00p.m.\nMill Gallery, 131 Front St., Santa 
 Cruz\n\nThe June 28, 2009 military coup that overthrew President Mel Zelaya 
 produced a massive grassroots transformation of Honduran society. Hondurans 
 rose up in an enormous popular Resistance protesting the coup and demanding 
 not only Zelaya's restitution, but a Constitutional Convention and the 
 re-making of Honduran society. The Resistance unites labor unions, 
 campesino organizations, human rights groups, indigenous and Black 
 movements, the GLBT movement, and the women's movement.\n\nTremendous 
 represssion, including targeted assassinations of grassroots activists, 
 continues under the new government of Porfirio Lobo Sosa and the very same 
 generals who ran the coup. Yet a great fearlessness permeates the 
 Resistance, and a new, hopeful Honduras has emerged.\n\nUCSC Professor Dana 
 Frank will discuss her recent trip to Honduras, where she interviewed over 
 25 members of the Resistance. Frank has been working with the banana unions 
 of Honduras since 2001 and is the author of Bananeras: Women Transforming 
 the Banana Unions of Latin America, focusing on Honduras, and is writing a 
 book on the history of the AFL-CIO's Cold War intervention in the Honduran 
 labor movement. Since the coup she has published numerous op-eds on the 
 coup and the Resistance, and spoken widely on the radio.\n\nSponsored by 
 the Resource Center for Nonviolence. A free-will donation toward program 
 expenses will be collected.\n\nFor more information, 423-1626 or
