CUBA and VENEZUELA IN THE ERA OF WAR AND OCCUPATION: 
Why the U.S. is Targeting Cuba and Venezuela 
...And what you can do about it.

________________________________________________
On May 6th 2004, the US announced that it was funelling $59 million dollars into a four-pronged strategy of attacks on Cuba. Which include increasing the blockade, funding Miami-based terrorist groups and broadcasting illegal radio signals throughout the nation. 

In Venezuela, there is similar pressure and attacks mounting. Internally, reactionary forces supported by the US are attacking the government, most recently with the presidential-recall referendum scheduled for August 15th 2004. 

Just 6 days after the scheduled referendum, VCSC is holding free day-long public conference to discuss the current imperialist aggressions toward Cuba and Venezuela and the opening of the era of war and occupation in Latin America. 

And to discuss why we should defend the self-determination of these sovereign nations and build a movement in solidarity with the people of Cuba and Venezuela and against imperialist intervention.

Saturday, August 21 
11am-5pm 
IWA Hall - 2859 Commercial Drive 
(Commercial and 13th Ave)
