I say this not to start some controversy, or to play \u201cwoke\u201d olympics, but because I\u2019m genuinely in awe of the success we\u2019ve had in building solidarity between communities in the U.S. and communities in Central America.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">This has been happening for decades, especially in the Bay Area, starting as early as the mid-70s. Many of these networks were started by Central American migrants and U.S.-born Central Americans who sought to bring attention to human rights abuses and to challenge the intervention by the U.S. government. These networks not only achieved gains for migrants locally, such as the establishment of the now controversial sanctuary city, but also established links between movements and activists in the two regions that remain today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Just this past month, both San Francisco and Oakland hosted events featuring Melissa Cardoza and Karla Lara, two bad-ass Hondure\u00f1as touring across the United States in honor of Berta C\u00e1ceres, the renowned environmentalist and leader of the Honduran resistance who was assassinated a little over a year ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Their tour consists of a performance based on stories from Melissa\u2019s book, \u201c13 Colores de La Resistencia Hondure\u00f1a,\u201d written after the 2009 coup d\u2019etat and which was recently translated into English with a special dedication to Berta. Karla, the musician of the pair, incorporated musical aspects into the performance giving it a popular, almost teatro campesino-like feel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">I went to Oakland to check out the performance, with hopes of meeting and speaking with Melissa and Karla. When I arrived I wasn\u2019t sure if I had gone to the right place. I stepped into SoleSpace, the boutique sneaker store where the event was held, only to find a juxtaposition of high end sneakers on display alongside art dedicated to the Golden State Warriors (the best team in NBA history for the record), and a mostly aging gringo crowd. One thing that should be mentioned about Central American solidarity is it tends to be associated with a certain demographic: older, white, and well-off financially. While this is important to recognize, this association usually downplays the role that Central Americans themselves have played in building solidarity with their compa\u00f1eros and compa\u00f1eras back home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">I dawdled with a certain consumerist guilt as I waited for Melissa and Karla to arrive, picking up a shoe every now and then and examining it from every angle. I greeted the other brown guy who had arrived auspiciously early like myself. \u201c\u00bfHondure\u00f1o?\u201d he asked. \u201cSalvadore\u00f1o\u201d I replied. We both nodded as if saying, \u201cclose enough.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Moments later, two women, sturdy as the trunks of ceiba trees, walked through the door. One of them walked over to the brown guy I had greeted before and gave him a bear hug.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">The brown guy was Melissa\u2019s brother, who has been living undocumented in the United States for about 25 years. Melissa explained to me the sad, yet familiar, story of wanting family reunification. She saw him for the first time after 16 years on a similar solidarity visit to California with Berta in 2015. \u201cSe que es un derecho [migrar], pero tambi\u00e9n hay un derecho de vivir en tu pa\u00eds si es lo que queres\u201d She says.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cMi hermano, igual a otra gente, no sali\u00f3 porque quiso, si no porque fue obligado, por condiciones econ\u00f3micas, por condiciones de violencia, y eso hace que sea una situaci\u00f3n muy conflictiva, muy dolorosa\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">I hung on to every one of her words. Melissa and Karla both have a way with words. When Melissa speaks each statement comes out clear and direct, but not in a rehearsed way. Karla\u2019s way of speaking is more inviting and warm, making you feel like you\u2019ve known each other for decades.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201c[Con Melissa] ya hace algunos a\u00f1os hemos hecho algunas cosas juntas, algunas canciones, algunas campa\u00f1as, sobre todo de derechos de mujeres y compa\u00f1eras defensoras de derechos humanos\u201d Karla says. \u201cY somos tambi\u00e9n, las dos, parte de una banda de mujeres, somos 10 mujeres, y nos llamamos Puras Mujeres\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">The band name has nothing to do with sanctity (although I\u2019m sure there is some irony here), but is in reference to an expression commonly used in places like Honduras and El Salvador. For example, if I\u2019d been asked, \u201cWas the event full?\u201d I would have said, \u201cYes, puras mujeres.\u201d And the entire event could be described similarly, it was an ode to women\u2014the emcee, the opening acts which were performed by local immigrant women, and of course the tribute to Berta C\u00e1ceres. Once their performance is underway Melissa and Karla are like an olympic duo. Melissa takes the lead with the dialogue while Karla provides character support and the musical transition between scenes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cPara nosotras como hondure\u00f1as ha sido importante mirar desde otro lugar\u201d Melissa says. \u201c Que tambi\u00e9n gente de este pueblo est\u00e1n haciendo luchas de resistencia, distintas y parecidas a las nuestras. Eso a sido el regalo de la gira hasta ahora\u201d They both talk about doing solidarity differently than it was done in the past. Moving away from a \u201cgreen\u201d solidarity in which North Americans send money south, to a \u201chorizontal\u201d solidarity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">I left the event thinking about Berta. The strength it must have taken to dedicate oneself wholly to the resistance, to the point of giving your life. Horizontal solidarity is not only demanding justice for Berta and other rebellious women who have sacrificed for the cause, but also to learn from Berta, and give ourselves fully to the resistance here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[su_carousel source=&#8221;media: 34247,34248,34249,34250,34251,34252,34253,34254,34255,34256&#8243; limit=&#8221;60&#8243; link=&#8221;lightbox&#8221; target=&#8221;blank&#8221; width=&#8221;800&#8243; height=&#8221;540&#8243; responsive=&#8221;no&#8221; items=&#8221;1&#8243;] I\u2019m not saying we invented solidarity, we just made it a thing.
