Speaker: JOHNNY HODGSON, recognized as a Father of Autonomy of the Caribbean Coast, for leading the movement to restore the rights of indigenous and Afro-descendant peoples
What does “autonomy” mean for people living in the Caribbean Coast Autonomous Regions of Nicaragua? How and why did these two regions (North and South) hold their own elections on March 3 of this year? Who ran for election, from which parties, for what offices?
Our webinar speaker, Johnny Hodgson, will address these questions and more during our 60-minute webinar. He is a Representative to Nicaragua’s National Assembly, and political secretary of the Sandinista Front (FSLN), from the South Caribbean Autonomous Region. On election day, Hodgson noted that the regional autonomy law guarantees gender equity and the representation of each of the Indigenous and Afro-descendant peoples in the elections.
