DESCRIPTION:The Deepening Struggle in Latin America\nNew Developments in the fight to 
 free the Cuban FiveIn Peru, protests and occupations by Indigenous 
 communities are continuing against the government of Alan García. 
 Indigenous peoples are demanding the overturn of several laws signed by the 
 Peruvian president in 2008 that allow for massive corporate development on 
 Indigenous land. The government stepped up its repression and declared a 
 state of emergency in early May, banning public gatherings and permitting 
 unrestricted police searches. A general strike has been called for June 
 15.\n\nIn Venezuela, the struggle between classes has intensified following 
 the referendum victory that abolished term limits for elected 
 officials.\n\nNationalizations, expropriations, occupations and continued 
 growth of communal councils all signify the growing socialist revolution. 
 The brutal reaction of the capitalist class in defense of their wealth 
 underscores this trend. As the struggle deepens, the line between 
 pro-capitalist and pro-socialist elements will sharpen.\n\nCome hear about 
 recent developments in Venezuela, Peru and other countries of Latin America 
 and how you can become involved in defending the gains that have been made 
 for the poor and working people there. \n\n \nNew Developments in the fight 
 to free the Cuban Five\nThe Supreme Court is expected to issue a decision 
 on June 15 on whether or not they will hear the appeal of the Cuban Five. 
 Meanwhile, the Obama Administration filed a brief urging the Court to deny 
 the Five a hearing.\n\nAs part of this evening’s program, we will view a 
 short video, recently broadcast by the Canadian Broadcasting Company (CBC). 
 The moving mini-documentary tells the complete story of the Cuban Five, 
 featuring interviews with René González’ wife Olga and daughter Irma, 
 as well as with Leonard Weinglass, one of the Cuban Five’s 
 attorneys.\n\nJoin us for discussion on this important case.\n\nAlso, 
 report-back from the International Day of Solidarity to End the Siege of 
 Gaza and an update on struggle against Proposition 8. \n\n
