 Speak-Out\n\nDespite the U.S. government's attempts to isolate Venezuela 
 and declare the Bolivarian Revolution an "extraordinary threat" to the 
 United States, that false claim backfired on Washington in a major way, 
 leading up to and during the Summit of the Americas.\n\nMore than 13 
 million signatures were collected in Venezuela, throughout Latin America 
 and worldwide, to defend Venezuela and to tell the U.S.: "Obama Repeal the 
 Executive Order Now!"\n\nBut the danger of U.S. destabilizing efforts and 
 economic sabotage are not over. Just before the Summit, Obama traveled to 
 Jamaica—the first U.S. president to visit that country in more than 30 
 years—as part of the U.S. objective of breaking up the strategic 
 Caribbean-Venezuela alliance known as Petro-Caribe. And although Obama was 
 forced to admit that Venezuela is not a threat, his Executive Order still 
 remains, with sanctions and further pressure against the Caracas 
 government.\n\nThe official Summit, with heads of state of 35 countries of 
 the western hemisphere included an historic first: Cuba's presence despite 
 decades of U.S. opposition. A People's Summit was held parallel to the 
 Summit of the Americas, in which progressive movements met to strategize to 
 continue the process of social and economic integration of Latin America 
 and the Caribbean.\n\nAn International Day of Solidarity with Venezuela has 
 been called, to let Washington know that the Bolivarian Revolution is not 
 alone!\n\nThere will be public actions in many countries. The organizations 
 signed below in the Bay Area will join the International Day of Solidarity, 
 with a rally in the heart of the Mission! Bring your placards, banners and 
 join us in a Community speak-out.\n\nSponsored by Bay Area Latin America
