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.

Come together on May 20th at the Vancouver Art Gallery
with music, speakers, and a march to demand:

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

conocido terrorista anti-Cubano Luis Posada Carriles.
