DESCRIPTION:No U.S.-backed fascist coup in Bolivia!\nEmergency Protest:\nMonday, Nov. 
 11, 5:30 pm\n24th and Mission St., San Francisco\n\n(Cover photo caption- 
 Patricia Arce, mayor of Bolivian town Vinto, was beaten, her hair cut, and 
 marched barefoot by masked thugs, last week, for being a supporter of 
 President Evo Morales)\n\nA violent fascist coup is underway in Bolivia 
 against President Evo Morales and the progressive project of the 
 Plurinational republic of Bolivia. Using the charge of electoral fraud in 
 the recent election, the fascist opposition is viciously attacking 
 pro-Morales forces, burning government offices and homes. \n\nAt the 
 current moment, it is reported that Evo Morales has resigned. This coup 
 will not end with the overthrow of President Evo Morales, it will unleash 
 even more fascist violence and repression than we have seen in recent days. 
 Then will come the sacking of Bolivia's wealth, neoliberal package of 
 cutbacks, privatization, and much more. But there will also be resistance 
 by the progressive people in Bolivia. We must continue to protest this 
 U.S.-engineered coup and stand with the resistance. Hands off 
 Bolivia!\n\nMake no mistake, the U.S. government is financing and 
 supporting the opposition. This coup must be understood in the context of 
 the U.S. drive to turn back all the leftist and liberal governments of 
 Latin America. It began openly with the June 2009 overthrow of President 
 Mel Zelaya of Honduras, and has continued with Brazil, Ecuador, Chile, 
 Panama, Argentina. Washington has turned the screws on Venezuela, Cuba and 
 Nicaragua, but despite severe sanctions has been unsuccessful. In each of 
 those countries experiencing coups, new rightwing leaders have abolished 
 economic and social programs, have waged repression and handed over their 
 country's wealth to International capital.\n\nWe urge all supporters of 
 Latin American and Caribbean sovereignty and independence, to come out to 
 24th and Mission Streets in San Francisco, Monday, November 11, 5:30 pm, to 
 stand with the Bolivian people and demand No U.S.-backed fascist coup in 
 Bolivia. U.S. Hands Off Bolivia and all Latin America and the 
 Caribbean!\n\nCalled by ANSWER Coalition, co-sponsored by American Indian 
 Movement West, Alianza Hondureña Contra la Dictadura, Committee in 
 Solidarity with the People of El Salvador, Cuba and Venezuela Solidarity 
 Committee, Party for Socialism & Liberation, Task Force on the Americas. To
