DESCRIPTION:This is a critical time for the Bolivarian Revolution of Venezuela.\n\nFor 
 years, the U.S. government has been financing and promoting a 
 destabilization campaign with the objective of overturning the tremendous 
 progress for the Venezuelan people, first launched by Hugo Chávez’s 
 presidency of 1999.\n\nPresident Nicolás Maduro, the National Assembly 
 progressive members, government leaders and the Venezuelan pro-Bolivarian 
 masses, are struggling to continue and advance the revolutionary process, 
 while standing up against a vicious right-wing campaign of violence, 
 illegal attacks on the democratically-elected government, false accusations 
 by the U.S. government and its corporate allies in Venezuela.\n\nMore than 
 16 years of a radical process by Venezuela’s democratic Bolivarian 
 Revolution has lifted up millions from poverty, eliminated illiteracy, 
 provided a healthcare system available to all, has built almost 1 million 
 new housing units, with more to come. But it is threatened by the United 
 States government’s attempt to restore the Venezuelan capitalist class to 
 political power.\n\nThe real aim of the U.S. is to re-capture Venezuela’s 
 oil reserves, the largest in the world, and to destroy ALBA (the Bolivarian 
 Alliance for Latin America). ALBA, founded by Cuba and Venezuela, today 
 includes Bolivia, Ecuador, Nicaragua and some of the Caribbean states. It 
 is an alliance of resistance to the long and destructive history of U.S. 
 domination of Latin America, and Washington desperately wants to smash 
 it.\n\nOn Sunday, Dec. 6, elections will take place for all seats in the 
 National Assembly.\n\nThe Cuba and Venezuela Solidarity Committee, together 
 with many progressive forces worldwide, are calling on people in the United 
 States and around the world to join together with rallies and other actions 
 to demand:\n\n• U.S. Hands Off Venezuela\n• Respect Venezuela’s 
 sovereignty!\n• Lift all sanctions on Venezuela, rescind Obama’s March 
 9 Executive Order against Venezuela\n• Stop U.S. financing of the 
 right-wing opposition, destabilization and coup attempts\n• Stop the 
 corporate media slander campaign\n\nRallies are being planned Dec. 4-6 in 
 New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago and other cities. A 
 major Latin American-wide mobilization is also underway.\n
