DESCRIPTION:Sun, Apr 11, 2021: 10:30 am to 12:30 pm Pacific \n\nTen Things for US to 
 Understand \nabout Latin America\n\n   Our speaker, Laura Wells, just 
 returned from two weeks in Nicaragua with a delegation sponsored by 
 Sanctions Kill, Alliance for Global Justice, and Friends of the ATC. When 
 she received the announcement for the delegation, she felt instantly 
 inspired. She had already visited the other two countries named as the 
 "Troika of Tyranny" by Trump's Secretary of State Pompeo. She knew 
 "tyranny" was a lie about Cuba and Venezuela and wanted to see if it was 
 also a lie about Nicaragua. She was especially interested because there is 
 a common impression across the political spectrum that Daniel Ortega was 
 good in the 1980s but became corrupt and authoritarian when he returned to 
 the presidency in 2006. See more at

 \n   Laura will report back on the struggles in Latin America and the 
 Caribbean resisting US imperialism to create a better world, based on her 
 visits and studies. In the Q&A, she would like to engage in a robust 
 discussion of what we can learn from the shift in consciousness in Latin 
 America and about their advances toward socialism.\n\n   Laura Wells is a 
 longtime political and social activist. She is a leader in the Green Party, 
 running for Congress in 2018 and for governor in 2010. In 2002 she garnered 
 nearly a half million votes in her run for California state controller. A 
 former financial systems analyst, she supports taxing the rich, 
 implementing public banks, and making significant changes to Proposition 
 13.\n\n   We highly recommend her blog: http://laurawells.org/\n\nLOGIN
