REPORT LAUNCH: The Dark Side of the Energy Transition: Green Colonialism in Southern Honduras

Tuesday May 26, 6pm

Instead of climate justice and a just energy transition replacing fossil fuels with renewables, the installation of solar parks across southern Honduras tells a tale of corporate profiteering and bullying under the guise of “sustainable development.” Following the 2009 military coup in Honduras during a period known as the narcodictatorship, transnational corporations benefited from deepening privatization, widespread corruption including government involvement in drug trafficking, and excessive incentives to attract private investment in the electricity sector.

The results in one of the hottest and most impoverished regions of the country include broken promises, deforestation and loss of access to productive land and water sources, while temperatures remain on the rise. Communities who stood up and prevented the full installation of the Los Prados solar project, owned by Norwegian firms Scatec, Norfund and KLP Norfund Investments, have faced violent repression, forced displacement and ongoing criminalization.

The Norwegian companies and five other firms also sought to punish the government of former President Xiomara Castro with over a billion dollars in arbitration claims when reforms were passed to revert some of the worst excesses in contracts with electricity companies and to rescue the state electricity company. The pressure that Investor State Dispute Settlement claims (or ISDS) put on the public purse and self-determining decisions in the public and community interest have led to growing criticisms and calls for governments to exit this system.

Join us to learn more about struggles for community self-determination and subsistence in southern Honduras, demands for corporate accountability, an end to ISDS, and the need for real energy democracy and climate justice.

🕒 Time: 5:00pm Happy Hour
📽️ 6:30pm Screening
📍 Location: Sie Film Center ( 2510 E Colfax Ave, Denver, CO 80206)

About the Film:
Through stories of grief, resilience, and transformation, And Water Brings Tomorrow follows community-led campaigns to close prisons in California, as well as efforts to organize against ICE detention centers across the Southwest and resist prison construction in Appalachia. Much like the work of our campaign, this film asks what becomes possible when communities move beyond systems or incarceration and toward liberation.

Following the film, there will be a panel discussion about immigrant detention, prison abolition, and our work to shut down the GEO ICE detention center in Aurora.

This screening is also a fundraiser, with 100% of proceeds benefiting FU Friends, an initiative within Housekeys Action Network Denver (HAND) to support those detained inside the ICE detention center in Aurora and their loved ones through mutual aid, including rental assistance, moving support, and emergency shelter for families impacted by detention and deportation.

Cuba: 67 years resisting imperialism.

Trump said he can do whatever he wants with Cuba, but the truth is he can’t, and this fact has driven US presidents and the Power Elite crazy for 67 years now.
