Phil's Invitation to Venezuela Talk

Walpole Peace and Justice Group Sponsoring Talk on Venezuela April 4 Walpole Public Library

Dear Friends,

You are invited to a talk on Venezuela, sponsored by the Walpole Peace and Justice Group, on April 4 at Walpole Public Library.

Mr. Paul Peckham will speak about his trip to Venezuela this past January. The talk will focus on the social revolution that is taking place under the Hugo Chavez government as well as the growing conflicts between the U.S. and Venezuela. Over the past six years, Mr. Peckham has traveled to three other countries in Latin America: Chiapas, Mexico (home of the Zapatistas), Cuba (just before the Bush administration stopped all U.S. citizens from going there) and El Salvador (as a Presidential election observer). The purpose of these trips was to bear witness to the effects of U.S. foreign policy on these countries. There will be ample time for questions and an open discussion after the talk.

The WP&J speaker series is held the first Tuesday of each month at 7:30 at the Walpole Public Library. All talks are open to the public. We hope you can come.

Philip
