Forum "Venezuela: Myth and Reality"

Speakers:
• Antonio Cordero, Consul General of the Venezuelan Consulate in San Francisco
• Roger Harris, of Task Force on the Americas, and election observer in Venezuela’s May 20 presidential elections as part of Venezuela Analysis and Intrepid News Fund delegation
• Gloria La Riva, PSL member, has traveled and written extensively on the Bolivarian Revolution

On May 20 this year, President Nicolás Maduro was reelected in Venezuela. Within 24 hours, President Trump imposed harsh sanctions on Venezuela’s oil industry, in the U.S. ongoing campaign in trying to bring down the democratically-elected government. The U.S. media portrays the South American country on the verge of economic collapse, yet the U.S. economic blockade and aggression are never mentioned. What is really behind the U.S. headlines? We invite you to come hear firsthand reports on the government’s and people’s struggle to defend the Bolivarian Revolution. Discussion will follow the presentations.

Donation of $5 to 10 requested, no one turned away for lack of funds. Wheelchair accessible.

Sponsored by the Party for Socialism and Liberation and the Cuba and Venezuela Solidarity Committee.
