From incoherentnickle at gmail.com Sun Mar 9 22:50:34 2014 From: incoherentnickle at gmail.com (Nathan Stickel) Date: Sun, 9 Mar 2014 18:50:34 -0400 Subject: [Flyingbrickupdates] Info on Crisis in Venezuela and Ukraine Message-ID: >From The Defenders for Freedom, Justice, and Equality: Sisters and Brothers, While we are battling it out with the mayor and local developers to protect Richmond's Black History, we don't want to ignore international issues and what looks like the build-up to another war crisis. And we can't rely on the misinformation we get from the local media or the government. We need to check out independent sources for news and analysis. Attached is a media release and fact sheet on the crisis in Ukraine put out by the International Action Center. At the end of the release are statements and analysis by several other groups and organizations, including the United National Antiwar Coalition, of which the Defenders are a founding member, and Ajamu Baraka, a good friend and member of the Black Left Unity Network, who has attended several annual meetings of the Virginia People's Assembly. There's also the intensification of the counter-revolutionary movement in Venezuela, where the hand of the U.S. government is evident. For the Cuban view of this crisis, see:http://progresoweekly.us/cuba-backs-venezuela-states-position-bluntly-big-issues/ And please let us know of any actions taking place around Virginia to oppose the U.S. role in these crises and the threat of a new war.
