Nicaragua Independence Day in 2021

Today marks 200 years of independence in #Nicaragua, yet instead, hundreds of political prisoners are in jail for exercising their democratic rights. Instead of independence, the Nicaraguan people experience repression and restricted freedoms, losing their independence. /1

200 years ago today, #Nicaragua declared independence from the Spanish. What should have been a landmark celebration is instead a day of mourning as the Nicaraguan people find themselves oppressed under a new regime — the Ortegas. Congress MUST pass the #RENACER Act ASAP! 🇳🇮

“Independence Day should be a time to celebrate freedom and the historic achievement of self-government. Sadly, today in #Nicaragua the freedom for which so many Nicaraguans struggled for so long is slipping away into a dark new era.” #SOSNicaragua https://t.co/DyIFCDN6Ml

Extremely proud to have been asked to participate with the #LAFD in today’s bicentennial Central American Independence Parade. As a #Nicaraguan born #American celebrating the beautiful people and culture of Central America in Downtown LA was a great privilege. Thank you @LAFD🇺🇸🇳🇮 https://t.co/iDr4p05NHh https://t.co/nS6XC5s7pi
