On 13 July 2013, in Sydney, we met at hollis park to ride our bicycles through Redfern down to Enmore park. Amongst all the voices there are there is one voice, the things said now, and to say those things we used our fingers where paintbrushes would go, and we painted a banner because our world is a world of words and on that sign we said, Plunders and murders stop 4 years of coup in Honduras.

To the university authorities of University of Sydney, Australia
In the honour of solidarity between the peoples of the world, from Honduras, we learnt of the abuses by police against university students and workers and other people who fight for better conditions at this University. These people had their rights violated: we demand an end to this repression.
We join our voices in calling for the respect of people's integrity and for a liberatory education.

The coup was to ensure conditions to allow business to do whatever they want without regard for human lives and the environment.
