Market Day in Ciudad Morazán

Friday, April 14, 2023
Market days have been an important part of many communities, providing a place for locals to buy and sell goods, socialize, and support local businesses. Unfortunately, in many parts of Choloma, organizing a market day is difficult and would require paying a war tax to the local gang. Not so in Ciudad Morazán!
Here market day went from an idea to a reality overnight. No permits, no vendor licenses, no alcoholic licenses, no food certifications, no war taxes.
Just people who come together voluntarily to socialize, trade, and enjoy the beauty of Morazán’s central park.
The items sold included clothing, food, drinks, swimming pools, and furniture. Buyers and sellers used Lempiras, both paper and electronic.
While sellers peddled their wares, kids played in the park, and residents ate, drank, and socialized.
Despite the market day taking place on Easter weekend, nearly thirty people attended and the day was a success.
We look forward to seeing what next month’s market day will bring!
Hi, I Am Joyce Brand
CEO Of Morazan Model Association
I am a woman who is passionate about freedom. I understand that freedom is an overused and misunderstood word. By freedom, I mean responsibility — specifically the responsibility of living without allowing any self-proclaimed rulers to make my moral judgments for me. A coercive government can impose negative consequences on me for disobeying its edicts, but I am free to the extent that I recognize my own responsibility for the risks I choose to take in following my own moral judgments. That is what it means to live free in an unfree world.
The label that I use to describe myself is voluntaryist because it is the clearest word I can think of to describe my most important belief — that all interactions between human beings should be voluntary. There is never any moral justification for the initiation of violence or coercion. The Morazan Model Association explores the implications of that core belief.
