On June 28, SOA-trained Honduran military generals overthrew the government of President Manuel Zelaya. The Honduran social movements are resisting the coup regime and engage in daily pro-democracy protests, strikes and civil disobedience. There is still hope that the legitimate government can be reinstalled but it will take pressure on the coup leaders.

Representatives Bill Delahunt (D-MA) and Jim McGovern (D-MA) introduced a resolution in the House of Representatives along with 14 original cosponsors that calls for the return to democracy and the reinstatement of Manuel Zelaya as president of Honduras.
