Hello Everyone! I had previously sent out an announcement for an online presentation and Q&A about the situation in Venezuela. This isn't a NCGP-only event however I am encouraging Greens in particular to join the livestream or maybe even have a small watch party with other Greens. The presenter, Tom Trottier, was gracious enough to volunteer to do TWO DATES: NEXT MON FEB 25 and WED FEB 27TH. Choose whichever date works best for you by clicking on the corresponding event below: Do you stand against the attempt in progress to ensure a right wing coup in Venezuela? There is a rapidly-growing global movement against the brazen US & NATO power- led economic and political warfare against the people of Venezuela and the movement that brought former Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to power. Would you like to deepen your historical and political understanding of what is happening? Join us for a video conference discussion from a socialist perspective on the situation in Venezuela for a livestream call/video conference on either of these TWO DAYS: Monday February 25 @ 7pm-9pm ESThttps://www.facebook.com/events/354975721768741/?ti=cl or Wednesday February 27 @ 7pm-9pm EST https://www.facebook.com/events/2360526980844134/?ti=cl Our presentation and discussion will feature Tom Trottier, US representative from the Hands Off Venezuela Coalition (https://www.handsoffvenezuela.org/) who will give a presentation and Q&A discussion on the following questions: What is the present situation in Venezuela? What events have led up to this moment? What were the origin and goals of the “Bolivarian Revolution”? What were its successes? What have been the falters and failures to reach these goals? What is the true nature of the term “counterrevolution” and how does it apply to events in Venezuela and elsewhere? How do we answer the hard questions about what is happening in Venezuela with honesty, clarity and nuance in a way that resonates with people here in the United States and elsewhere? The discussion will be lead via a video conference application (we anticipate Zoom however please RSVP for any updates). You must have a working computer or smartphone with broadband internet access to observe. You may access via phone, however we highly encourage everyone who can prepare to join via video chat to do so. Organizing small watch parties is highly recommended! If organizing a watch party to please have more than one laptop ready and connected. We will likely use Zoom. Information to download Zoom will be sent to those who RSVP as well as the links to the conference. Organizers from NC Green Party are cosponsoring this call however anyone interested in the above discussion can join! Kind Regards and Solidarity, Tony _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: https://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
