Tuesday, May 31 Capitol Calling Party: The Progressive Wave in Latin America
Channel: CODEPINK
Date: 2022-06-01

Join CODEPINK Congress and Massachusetts Peace Action for an energizing Capitol Calling Party focused on the progressive wave in Latin America. As Chair of the Ninth Summit of the Americas, the United States refuses to allow Cuba, Venezuela or Nicaragua to participate in the June meeting in Los Angeles. In response, Mexico says it won't participate either. Sounds like the summit - a huddle of arms buyers & free market cheerleaders - could be a bust. Enter the People's Summit, a grassroots alternative, slated for June 8-10th, also in LA. The People's Summit will include discussions of the changing landscape in Latin America, where progressives in Chile and Honduras are winning elections to challenge neoliberalism, militarism and privatization. 

Featuring:
Manolo de los Santos, Co-Executive Director of The People's Forum and a key organizer of The People's Summit. Manolo is a popular educator and organizer from the Caribbean who is engaging a new generation of internationalists.
Francesca Emanuelea researcher with the Center for Economic and Policy Research. Francesca is also a Peruvian journalist, Colombia election observer, and a Ph.D. student of Anthropology at American University in Washington, DC.
Cohosted by Leonardo Flores, Latin America campaign coordinator with CODEPINK.
