SUMMARY:US Aggression towards Venezuela and its Repercussions for Latin America (a WIRN webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Wedenesday January 14th @ 8PM\n \nThe recent U.S. military attacks and threats on Venezuela are just its latest acts of war on its southern neighbor. Since the rise of Hugo Chavez\, there have been coup attempts\, sanctions\, subversive support of the right-wing opposition\, theft of financial assets\, and the widespread dissemination of lies and propaganda portraying Venezuela as a threat to the U.S. But now\, the Trump regime appears more determined than ever to bring about regime change in this country that has the largest proven reserves of oil in the world. \nThe danger of this U.S aggression is not just to the people of Venezuela\, but to the rest of Latin America as well\, especially to the targeted nations of Cuba\, Nicaragua\, and Colombia. The U.S.\, under the banner of the Monroe Doctrine\, considers all of Latin America its sphere of influence and means to reinvigorate its dominance and exploitation of natural resources there. Capturing Venezuela would be a jewel in the imperial crown\, but it would also inevitably lead to more and more neo-colonization throughout the hemisphere. \n \nSpeakers: \nJohn Perry\, based in Nicaragua\, is with the Nicaragua Solidarity Coalition and writes for the Grayzone\, London Review of Books\, FAIR\, Covert Action and elsewhere \nRoger Harris taught political science at a Historically Black College in Mississippi in the late 1960s and was involved in the civil rights movement and community organizing in East Harlem\, New York City. He is a co-founder of the Venezuela Solidarity Network and was an election accompanier for the last presidential election in Venezuela. Roger is on the state central committee of the California Peace and Freedom Party and on the board of the human rights organization\, the Task Force on the Americas. He is on the program committee of the Marxist Forum and on the secretariat of the US Peace Council. He is active in the SanctionsKill campaign and the Nicaragua Solidarity Coalition. His political writings may be regularly found at Counterpunch\, LA Progressive\, Antiwar.com\, Venezuelanalysis\, and the Orinoco Tribune.

SUMMARY:¡Cuba Sî\, Bloqueo No! (a WIRN webinar)
DESCRIPTION:¡Cuba Sí\, Bloqueo No! (a WIRN webinar) \nOur next War Industry Resisters Network  webinar on Wednesday\, April 22\, 8 pm ET will be about Cuba\, featuring Medea Benjamin and Danny Valdes. Please see below for information. You can register here: \n \nThe US has been sanctioning the people of Cuba for well over 60 years now. It has been an illegal\, unwarranted\, and immoral act of war and has crippled the Cuban economy with deadly results. Now\, with the fuel blockade\, conditions have worsened considerably\, with severe shortages in fuel\, food\, medicines\, and electricity. \nRecently\, CODEPINK’s Nuestra América Convoy delegation of 170 people delivered 6\,300 pounds of urgently needed medicines and medical supplies\, including neonatal equipment\, analgesics\, catheters\, and other critical hospital materials. The supplies\, valued at $433\,000\, were collected by Global Health Partners. \nThis webinar will address the nature of the US war on Cuba and the humanitarian efforts now happening on behalf of the Cuban people. It will be a call to action to stand with and speak out for our brothers and sisters in this beautiful neighboring nation. The presenters were organizers and participants for the recent delegation. \n \nPresenters: \nMedea Benjamin is a co-founder of CODEPINK and a prominent peace activist\, author\, and organizer focused on anti-war and human rights advocacy. \nDanny Valdes is a Cuban American organizer with Cuban Americans for Cuba and DSA leading national advocacy efforts to end the U.S. blockade and build solidarity.
