We reject the coup attempt of the US government against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, which ignores and violates the sovereign decision of the Venezuelan people who in an absolute democratic and transparent election, in the presence of international observers elected Nicolás Maduro as their legitimate President last May.

On January 22, U.S. Vice President Mike Pence sent a recorded message out that was broadcasted by 2527 media outlets for three days in coordination with the shadowy Organization of American States (OAS), calling for subversion against Maduro’s government.

Last night a full house at the Eric Quesada Center for Culture and Politics, in the Mission District of San Francisco, saw the first viewing in the U.S. of the new film by the Argentinian movie producer Maria Torrellas, Cuban Women in Revolution. After the 90 minute viewing many expressed the importance of getting this film out to a broader audience to compare and contrast the oppression and discrimination that women face under the neo liberal model around the world. If this movie has one message it is the strength and confidence Cuban women have from the earliest stages of childhood to seniors who still contribute to society.
