For the Indigenous Lenca people in Honduras, the land is their life. But huge hydroelectric, mining and other interests are out to exploit that land. MILPAH, the Independent Lenca Indigenous Movement of La Paz, is at the forefront of the struggle against them. They brave smear campaigns, death threats and physical assault to protect their environment, yet their attackers are rarely brought to justice.

Title
Text	Dear President I call on you to publicly acknowledge the vital work of MILPAH, the Independent Lenca Indigenous Movement of La Paz, and give them the protection they demand.This protection is what is required of your government by the precautionary measures issued by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. MILPAH is at the forefront of the struggle against huge hydroelectric, mining and other interests that are out to exploit their land. They brave smear campaigns, death threats and physical assault to protect their environment, yet their attackers continue to walk free. This is not acceptable. Yours sincerely ~
	I acknowledge that my action, along with my personal information, will be set to the target authorities.
