National March for Life 2004 - Trip Report
Illegal logging and related corruption have become so serious in the Central American nation of Honduras that thousands of peasants marched on the capital of Tegucigalpa on June 30 from all over the country to call an end to this devastating practice. The Center for International Policy's Central America program organized a delegation of prominent U.S. citizens to accompany them:
  • Congressman Maurice Hinchey (D-NY)
  • Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, former lieutenant governor of Maryland
  • Ambassador Robert E. White, president of the Center for International Policy
  • Mike Farrell, well-known actor and co-chair of Human Rights Watch in California
  • Robert Edgar, secretary general of the National Council of Churches (NCCC)
  • Antonios Kireopoulos, sub-secretary of the NCCC
  • Joseph Eldridge, chairman of the board of the Washington Office on Latin America and chaplain of American University
  • Allen Andersson, prominent businessman and former Peace Corps volunteer in Honduras
  • Paula Palmer, program director of Global Response
