We will focus on the continuing threats of the U.S. imperialist regime change agenda regarding Venezuela and Iran, with a major objective of seizing control of the biggest (Venezuela) and 4th biggest (Iran) oil reserves in the world. If this imperialist goal is realized, militarized fossil capital will surely extract this oil thereby leading the world ever closer to climate catastrophe. This issue should be front and center on the agenda of the global climate justice movement.
Important webinar on Sunday May 31 at 4:00 pm Eastern!
Sanctioned Countries Speak Out on COVID-19

We will hear directly from government representatives of several countries under harsh US-imposed sanctions and military threats about the impact they are having and how they are responding.
Mark your calendars now. More details coming soon.
