In this episode of Solidarity Radio we are joined by Honduras Program Co-Director, Allison Lira, and researcher, author and activist, John Lindsay-Poland, to  explore the nature of U.S. arms sales in Latin America and how U.S. weapons manufacturers continue to profit by fueling the flames of instability and violence that are pushing hundreds of thousands to flee their homes, leaving everything behind.
