((( 1 ))) Report Back from Rally Endorsed & Supported by MAWO

>> U.S. Hands Off Venezuela!

In
 response to US-backed right wing violence in Venezuela over the past 2 
weeks, on Saturday, February 23rd the Hugo Chavez Peoples Defense Front 
(HCPDF - Southwest Chapter) called for a Vancouver rally for peace and 
self-determination for Venezuela. This call coincided with a huge march 
of women in Venezuela against the right wing violence, as well as 
similar solidarity actions in Toronto and Montreal. Mobilization Against
 War and Occupation (MAWO) endorsed and actively supported this 
important demonstration.
