As 2025 draws to a close, there is much to do in 2026.
The ongoing tension in Honduras following the Trump administration’s interference in the November 30th election there, has us monitoring the situation in Honduras for the human rights defenders we accompany as well as preparing for the possibility of what could happen in Colombia in their May 2026 election.
As the Canadian government prepares to deepen economic ties with Mexico with pipelines, railways and mines, we will continue to push for a strengthening of the Protection Mechanism for human rights defenders and journalists (notably those who could be opposing and reporting on these megaprojects.
We will also be supporting our team in Guatemala as they continue to be present in court rooms for ongoing cases seeking justice for historic crimes against Indigenous peoples, trade union members and activists.
And as the push for the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission (PRGT) fracked gas pipeline has us attentive to the situation on Gitanyow territory as land defenders prepare to protect the land, waters and health of their lax’yip.
