Starting January 6, Just World Ed will be co-presenting along with the Task Force for the Americas and the U.S. Peace Council a super-timely webinar series titled “Venezuela in Washington’s Crosshairs: Breaking the Information Blockade.” (We’re thrilled that CODEPINK has also agreed to co-sponsor this project.)
The three webinars in this project will be presented on January 6, 8, and 13 and will feature the views and analyses of nine stellar experts, according to the schedule below. Roger Harris of TFA and USPC, and JWE’s Helena Cobban will be the moderators.

Also of note:
We realize that this schedule of webinars may not work for many who are eager to learn more about this perilous U.S. policy. Please know that soon after each webinar concludes, we will be adding the multi-media records of it (video, audio, transcript) to a dedicated Online Learning Hub that we will soon be unveiling, accessible via this page on the Just World Ed website.
We hope that this Learning Hub, like the others we have on our website, can be of lasting use as an educational resource for activists and community organizations.
