In 13 Colors of the Honduran Resistance, feminist fighter and author Melissa Cardoza tells 13 stories of women from the Honduran resistance after the coup d'état of July 28, 2009. It has just been published in a bilingual English / Spanish edition. Melissa, a Honduran Afro-Indian feminist journalist, poet, writer and organizer, poetically recounts some of the most persuasive moments she has witnessed amid the brutal repression and the uncompromising hope and struggle that characterized Honduras today after the coup . She will be touring together with her fellow member of the Honduran Defender Network, a network of women's rights advocates, and a beloved Honduran jazz / folk protest singer.

Karla Lara, who appears in one of the stories of the book and has been an icon and a sharp voice in the resistance. Both were among the closest friends to Berta Cáceres, the Honduran indigenous leader and organizer of COPINH who was murdered for her work in defense of the Lenca people and against patriarchy, capitalism and racism. They dedicate this book and this tour to Berta.
