will stream a webinar on YouTube Live on Wed., April 1 at noon ET as part of
the series: What Is Going on in Latin America? Last Thursday, the U.S.
Department of Justice slapped Venezuelan President Maduro and other government
officials with drug trafficking charges. But without a shred of evidence, these
allegations bring up serious questions regarding the true intentions of the
DOJ. Latin American affairs expert Fulton Armstrong will join Teri Mattson to
discuss the allegations made against Maduro and to contextualize this
occurrence within a larger pattern of U.S. foreign affairs in Latin America.

a Webinar on Zoom at https://us04web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_AB3ycAuzRuO4eGe_BADpMw. Rent strikes. Instacart and Amazon strikes. Prisoner
strikes. General strikes. The global impact of the COVID-19 Coronavirus has
united the workers and oppressed in a common, worldwide struggle for health,
safety, jobs and full pay during closings and layoffs. Rank-and-file resistance
by workers — with or without unions — has closed schools, factories and
workplaces in the interest of community health and called out bosses who are
mistreating workers in the process. Join
Workers World Party and discuss the growing worker resistance to the capitalist
response to COVID-19.
