 August 21, 2004REPORT BACK Cuba and Venezuela in the Era of War and Occupation: Why the US is attacking Cuba and Venezuela ... and what you can do about it! ALL DAY CONFERENCE
On August 21st, 2004 Vancouver Communities in Solidarity with Cuba (VCSC) held its first conference titled “Cuba and Venezuela in the Era of War and Occupation: Why the US is targeting Cuba and Venezuela (and what you can do about it)”. The conference linked the attacks on the sovereign nations of Cuba and Venezuela with the ongoing era of imperialist war, occupation and destruction. The event also lived up to its name by including dynamic discussion on the role of oppressed people in Vancouver and Canada taking action in solidarity with the Cuban and Venezuelan people. In addition to VCSC's presentation, the program included Marysol Torres of the Internationalist Bolivarian Circles, Vancouver City Councillor, Tim Louis and allowed for a broad and united defense of Cuba and Venezuela against imperialist attack.The conference on August 21st was another important step toward building the unity of people in Vancouver with oppressed people worldwide. It is clear that VCSC’s approach to organizing consistently and effectively is necessary in building a Cuban solidarity movement in Vancouver and that it is a successful method. The conference on August 21st showed that only through expanding the solidarity and sympathy of people in Vancouver toward the Cuban and Venezuelan people and all oppressed people internationally will we be able to unite and prevail over those who attack us.
