INTERNATIONAL DAY OF ACTION!
==HANDS OFF CUBA & VENEZUELA!==
* * * * *
Rally and March
SATURDAY MAY 20th
Vancouver Art Gallery
(Hornby St. & Robson St.)
1:00pm

Desperately bogged down in its war for empire in Iraq,
the Bush administration is escalating its threats and
campaigns to undermine, subvert, provoke, and
overthrow the government of Venezuela. All the while,
the same administration is strengthening the economic
blockade against Cuba, tightening the travel ban to
Cuba, and refusing to release the 5 Cuban Heroes held
in U.S. Jails while protecting vicious well-known
anti-Cuban terrorist Luis Posada Carriles.

Over the next month we will focus on building May
20th throughout BC as a day to oppose U.S. aggression
against Venezuela and Cuba and defend the sovereignty
of these countries. We will then come together on May
20th at the Vancouver Art Gallery with music,
speakers, and a march to demand:

H A N D S  O F F  C U B A  &  V E N E Z U E L A !

Desesperadamente estancado en su Guerra imperialista
en Iraq la administración Bush está extendiedo sus
trucos y campañas para desestabilizar, provocar y
derrocar al gobierno de Venezuela. mientras tanto, la
misma administración esta aumentando el bloqueo
económico contra Cuba, así como las restriciones para
viajar y se reusa a liberar a los 5 heroes Cubanos
presos en cárceles de E.U. mientras protege al
conocido terrorista anti-Cubano Luis Posada Carriles.

Durante el próximo mes nos avocaremos a la tarea de
construir mayo 20 en todo B.C. como un día de
oposisión a las
agresiones de E.U. en contra de Venezuela y Cuba y
para defender la soberanía de estos países. Nos
uniremos entonces en mayo 20 en Vancouver Art Gallery
con música, oradores y una marcha para exigir:
MANOS FUERA DE CUBA y VENEZUELA!
