DESCRIPTION:Zoom: https://www.codepink.org/cpc204\n\nJoin CODEPINK Congress as we 
 educate, activate and mobilize for peace legislation!\n\nThere’s trouble 
 in Trump’s bully paradise.\n\n“Latin America will not put up with 
 Trump’s new Monroe Doctrine” and “Trump can’t bully Latin America 
 without consequences” This isn’t the left press speaking; this is 
 “The Atlantic” and “Foreign Policy.”\n\nNo, Trump can’t get away 
 with strong-arming Latin America.  Threaten Mexico and Colombia with higher 
 tariffs and guess what? Two can play that insidious game.\n\nJoin us as we 
 discuss hopeful signs of resistance in Mexico, where progressive Claudia 
 Sheinbaum–academic, engineer, Nobel Prize winner–won the Presidency by 
 a landslide and is pushing back against Trump, suggesting that North 
 America  be renamed “América Mexicana” or “Mexican 
 America.”\n\nWe’ll talk about Mexico and Colombia’s response to 
 Trump’s deportations, the imperial military bases Trump inherited from 
 Biden and predecessors, and Trump’s outrageous plan to deport 30,000 
 refugees from US foreign policy to prison in Guantanamo Bay, 
 Cuba.\n\nFeatured Guests:\n\nJosé Luis Granados Ceja is an 
 anti-imperialist journalist and political analyst based in Mexico City, 
 with 20 years of experience covering social movements, democracy, 
 elections, and human rights. He is a staff writer with Venezuelanalysis, 
 covering regional and international issues, and hosts their podcast. He 
 also writes a monthly opinion column for the Mexico Solidarity Project 
 Bulletin. Together with Kurt Hackbarth, he co-hosts the Soberanía podcast, 
 which provides English-language analysis of politics in Mexico. Starting 
 this year you can also watch him on Sin Muros, a new Spanish-language news 
 show analyzing the US-Mexico bilateral relationship on Mexico’s Canal 
 Once.\n\nTeri Mattson lives in Mexico City, where she works with the Mexico 
 Solidarity Project’s media team.  She is also active with the Venezuela 
 Solidarity Network and the SanctionsKill Coalition. A volunteer with 
 CODEPINK’s Latin America team, Teri hosts and produces the YouTube 
 program and podcast WTF is Going on in Latin America & the Caribbean, which 
 is currently on hiatus.\n\nMedea Benjamin, the co-founder of CODEPINK, 
 returns from an international conference in Cuba, where Medea spoke with 
 Mariela Castro Espin, daughter of Fidel Castro, about the power of social 
 movements to resist Trump’s unilateral moves to seize and exploit Latin 
 America’s resources for the billionaire class.  Medea, joined in Cuba by 
 Col. Ann Wright, will also share the highlights of the conference on social 
 responsibility and the growing call to return Guantanamo Bay to Cuba. \n
