National Speaking Tour with Steve Ellner

We are working on a fall speaking tour by Steve Ellner on the hardship imposed on the Venezuelan people by US-Canadian Sanctions.  He is available to speak in the East anytime now through mid-October. He will be on the West Coast the second half of October and early November. He will be in the Midwest after the first week of November. If you would like to invite him, as we are making his complete schedule,  please let us know.

As part of a campaign to educate the public and organize a stronger movement against ongoing – and ever increasing – US and Canadian sanctions and intervention on the Venezuelan people, we will be mapping out a national speaking tour by Steve Ellner during October and November.

This is now more important with the recent US-Colombia backed assassination attempt on Venezuela President Maduro on August 4, and recent US judge ruling authorizing the seizure of Citgo’s assets in the US.

If you or your organization are interesting in inviting him to speak sometime this fall  – at a university, conference, library or community meeting, please contact us.

Or, if you have suggestions for us about where he could speak,  let us know.

This builds on our March 2018  Open Letter in Support of Mediation not Sanctions on Venezuela

Thanks, Stan Smith and Teri Mattson,
