There are some exciting developments recently in HOV. Here are three topics we would like to draw your attention to that we'll be discussing at our HOV meeting on February 9th: the visit by Luis Primo, a leader of the National Workers Union (Venezuela) to the SF Bay Area in March; Cristina, a local HOV member has returned from her visit to Venezuela; and Cora Campbell-Rock (CC), the new editor of the San Francisco Bay View newspaper, is in Venezuela and has agreed to speak on her trip to Venezuela at a jointly sponsored SF Bay View and HOV public meeting once she returns. Prior to working for the SF Bay View, she was a prominent pre-Katrina journalist and activist in New Orleans. Please join us on Thursday:
