International Venezuela Solidarity Conference


En Español!

What:  The Venezuelan people have defeated, through mass mobilizations by workers and peasants, three attempts to overthrow the government of Hugo Chavez. They succeeded because of the greater space, since Chávez came to the presidency, to fight for land, jobs, and democratic rights. Yet, the intensifying campaign of the US government and the mainstream media to demonize the government of Venezuela as a "destabilizing force in Latin America", "authoritarian populism", and all sorts of name calling is a prelude to a future attempt for US intervention and "regime change" in Venezuela.
Defenders of Venezuelan sovereignty are calling on all supporters of basic democratic rights to join us in building an International Venezuelan Solidarity Conference, as we say “No” to US intervention in Venezuela and “Yes” for all sovereign nations to be able to decide their own future.

When:  Friday, Nov. 17 Opening Night. Key Note Speakers and Cultural Event.
Sat., Nov. 18 Workshops: The Internal Bolivarian Process-Its Significance for Historically Oppressed Layers of Society; The Regional and Global Significance of the Bolivarian Process; US Interventionism-The Facts; Cuba and Venezuela-A Special Relationship. One afternoon workshop: The Future of the Bolivarian Process-Different Perspectives.
Sunday, Nov. 19 A Day of Action; What Conference Participants Can Do When They Return to their Communities.

Where:  Macalester College, St. Paul, MN

Who:  We welcome all organizations and individuals willing to build this conference on the platform of defending Venezuelan sovereignty and opposing any US intervention.
