/Will the crisis lead to a major new war?/

The US is trying to overthrow the Maduro government with military 
threats, economic warfare and diplomatic isolation.  But the solutions 
for the problems in Venezuela are for the Venezuelans to decide.  The 
peace movement must oppose US intervention and support a resolution 
through peaceful dialogue!
*Mike Clark* will provide necessary historical context with the theme 
"Venezuela vs the Empire: A coup 21 years in the making."  Rev. Clark is 
the Recovery Outreach Worker at the Belmont-Watertown United Methodist 
Church.  From 2004-14 he visited Venezuela seven times and saw firsthand 
the accomplishments of the Bolivarian revolution.
*Dan Kovalik* will speak on "The deadly and illegal US sanctions against 
Venezuela, and the legitimacy of Maduro’s election."  Dan currently 
teaches at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law; he served 25 
years as Associate General Counsel of the United Steelworkers.  Dan is a 
longtime activist opposing US intervention in Latin America and was an 
observer of both of Maduro's elections.
