Dear friends,
Most of LACSN work entails developing strong relationships amongst activist groups, raising awareness to social justice issues in the south as well as for the diaspora of immigrants from the south who call Turtle Island their home.
On august 11, 2019 LACSN will hold its annual fundraising BBQ at Christie Pits Park, across from the Christie Subway station in Toronto. The BBQ will take place between 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. Games, entertainment and mingling will take place starting at 10:00 a.m. We will be at the park until 8:00 p.m.
This year we are fortunate to have Mario Muñoz, Raúl Galvan, Miguel Vasquez and Rowena Chow are amongst the talented musicians who will share with us their live performances.
The BBQ is always a hit. Master BBQ chef Luis Tapia never fails to please the crowd with savoury steaks. There will be vegetarian options.
If you cannot attend the BBQ there are many other ways you can support our work:
1. Purchase tickets for those on limited or no income.
2. Make a donation to LACSN!
3. Share this email with others who may want to attend the BBQ or may want to support our work in other ways.
4. Come to our monthly meetings, third Wednesday of each month at OISE (St. George subway station) 5thfloor at 6:30 p.m.
We look forward to seeing you at the BBQ on August 11, 2019,
LACSN Coordinating Committee

PRESS RELEASE
The undersigned Justice Advocates and Progressive
Organizations:
Strongly condemn United States Vice-President Mike
Pence’s statement advocating the overthrow of democratically elected Venezuelan
President Nicolas Maduro.
The statement by the United States Vice-President
violates International Law and Regulations and disrespects Venezuela right to
self-determination, and sovereignty.
We denounce the Canadian government’s efforts to
interfere in Venezuela’s internal affairs and denounce the lack of respect it
has shown to Venezuela’s right to self-determination.
We oppose the sanctions imposed on the people of
Venezuela and we call on the Canadian government to stop interfering in
Venezuela national affairs.
We stand for principles of international accords,
treaties, and agreements, as well as for the United Nations General Assembly
Resolutions against acts that attempt to destabilize democratic governments.
We call on the International community to oppose
and condemn the actions of the
United States, against democratically elected President Nicolas Maduro.
We stand with those countries, governments, and
heads of state who have expressed their support for Venezuela’s Democracy and
its democratically elected President Nicolas Maduro.
Decades of disastrous U.S. military interventions
in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libia, Syria, and Palestine demonstrate how wrong US
foreign policy has been.
U.S. Foreign policy is responsible for millions of
civilian deaths, ravaged countries,
and the ongoing chaos that has replaced
functioning democracies.
Venezuela is investing its oil revenue and other
resources in social programs such as public housing, education, health, and
gender equality; in spite of or maybe because of that, the United States is
publicly declaring Venezuela a dictatorship and once again showing that it does
not respect the sovereign democracy of other countries nor their right to
self-determination.
NO TO U.S. MILITARY INTERVENTION IN VENEZUELA
NO TO THE U.S. DISASTROUS FOREIGN POLICY
LONG LIVE TO BOLIVARIAN VENEZUELA DEMOCRACY
LONG LIVE PRESIDENT MADURO
We the undersigned,
Venezuela Solidarity
Hugo Chavez Front (HCPDF)
