March to Lafayette Park,
Rally at 2pm in front of the White House

The Bush Administration, with bipartisan support in Congress, has stepped up its hostile, interventionist policies against the governments and peoples of Cuba and Venezuela. Washington instigated and supported the April 2002 military coup in Venezuela, which was defeated after massive mobilizations of working people. The White House has expanded already onerous restrictions on the right to travel to Cuba and arrogantly assumed Washington’s right to determine Cuba’s social, political, and economic system. Washington and its big-business media echo chamber has spearheaded a propaganda campaign of lies and deceit against Venezuela and Cuba. US attacks on Venezuela and Cuba are the leading wedge in an attempt to counter the mounting popular struggles in Latin America and the Caribbean against USbacked social and economic policies that have devastated working people.

A broad group of national and local organizations and individuals have called for a national march on Washington to demand an end to the U.S. government’s campaign of lies, threats, and sanctions against Venezuela and Cuba.

I will be present that day to express my solidarity with the Cuban people and the people of Venenzuala. sp I had an idea though you all can do the suggestion that I made to Sista Jah.
