Land and water defender Rosalina Dominguez was attacked again. Take action! | View in browser [[link removed]] .

Dear John,

A few days ago a man grabbed Rosalina Domínguez by the neck and tried to hit her
with a machete. Thankfully she managed to escape with her life. This is the most recent of many attacks against her and Rosalina remains in serious danger.

Rosalina is a determined defender of the land and water that are vital to the
survival of her people in the Lenca community of Río Blanco, Honduras. She and
her community seek to protect a future for their children, defending the environment from powerful people who want to exploit Indigenous
territory for profit .



URGENT:

Rosalina's community has been under attack for years.

No one can forget the assassination of Lenca water defender Berta Cáceres, as
she led efforts to stop the imposition of a big dam project and its negative
impacts on Indigenous communities.

In recent months, death threats and acts of violence have increased against
Rosalina and others who continue the struggle for which Berta died.

Armed men have threatened to kill Rosalina. They've forced her to flee her home
and destroyed communal food crops.

The attacks will only continue as long as the perpetrators are allowed to get
away with these despicable crimes and remain at large.

John, the situation could not be more dangerous. Rosalina and
her community have appealed for our support.

Please raise your voice
