The Venezuelan Government has transformed the lives of millions through progressive policies in the last decade. Today, this progress is under threat from a US militarization of the region that is encircling the country, including an agreement between the US & Colombia concerning new military bases & the revival of the 4th fleet.

April marks the 8th anniversary of the temporarily successful coup against Chávez. The recent coup in Honduras, followed by the exposure of coup plots in Ecuador & Paraguay, has confirmed that right-wing forces are again seeking to roll back progress across Latin America; threatening peace, democracy & sovereignty.

International support is essential - this event is a great opportunity to learn more about developments & how we can build solidarity. You can register online here!

Registration is only £5/£4 (concessions) for the day. You can register online today at Venezuela Solidarity Campaign, Unite the Union, 35 King Street, London, WC2E 8JG to reserve a place.

Registration also entitles you to a discounted ticket to the fundraising dinner for the Venezuela Under Threat campaign in the evening at La Piragua – contact the office on 0207 420 8963 or info@venezuelasolidarity.co.uk for tickets and information.

Organised by the Venezuela Solidarity Campaign and supported by the Embassy of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela
