Teach-In: Sanctions & Child Health SUNDAY 19 April
REGISTER: bit.ly/NicaApril19
Join us! TEACH-IN AND TOOLKIT LAUNCH: SANCTIONS UNDERMINE CHILDREN’S RIGHT TO HEALTH
One of the proudest accomplishments of the Cuban, Nicaraguan, and Venezuelan revolutions has been the right to health, guaranteed to all citizens through universal healthcare. These countries have some of the best child health indicators in the world, but those gains are threatened by unilateral coercive measures, especially those imposed by the United States.
Americas Without Sanctions will present its new teach-in materials to explain how the US blockades of Cuba and
Venezuela undermine children’s right to health. As we demand that the US Government Stop Killing Children with Sanctions,
we also call for a Peoples-Centered Human Rights framework.
This webinar will be in English and Spanish with simultaneous interpretation.
SPEAKERS:
Ajamu Baraka, founder of the Black Alliance for Peace and Director of the North-South Project for Peoples-Centered Human Rights
Anahí Arizmendi, Venezuelan journalist and author of “Children Under Siege”
Jill Clark-Gollub, Coordinator of Americas Without Sanctions, a project of the SanctionsKill campaign
Jess Cruz: researcher and activist with Americas Without Sanctions
Read the SanctionsKill letter to the US government demanding an end to Child-Killing Sanctions.
Hosted and sponsored by the Nicaragua Solidarity Coalition and co-sponsored by Americas Without Sanctions/SanctionsKill; the National Network on Cuba; and the Venezuela Solidarity Network.
