10 Years After Berta Cáceres’s Murder, Why Is Honduras Still So Dangerous for Environmentalists?

This week marks the 10-year anniversary of the hired hit that took Berta Cáceres's life and robbed both the Honduran and global environmental movements of a uniquely effective leader. Cáceres was targeted by a dam company, with an assist from the police, military, government officials and international banks because of her effective organizing on behalf of her people, the Lenca. Nina Lakhani literally wrote the book on Cáceres's killing, and in this episode she walks us through what happened then, what's happening now, the role the U.S. played in all of it, and what Americans can learn from the way Honduran activists continue to show up in the face of violent repression.
