Centre for Social Justice, 3rd Floor, 489 College St. (west of Bathurst)
Join us for a discussion of recent political developments in, and solidarity
efforts for, Honduras and Haiti. Both countries have been at the forefront of
Canadian and American imperialist intervention in the region. In Honduras, the
violent repression of anti-coup activists continues with the support of
American and Canadian imperialism, as those same imperial powers plan their
free market reconstruction of Haiti.
Speakers:
Jose Martinez, a Honduran-Canadian activist and member of the Honduras
Resistance Front (Toronto) and Latin American Solidarity Network. He has
travelled to Honduras several times since the June, 2009 military coup.
B.C. Holmes, an activist with the Toronto Haiti Action Committee who has
travelled to Haiti 8 times since 2002. Her most recent trip was completed just
5 days before the earthquake.
Todd Gordon, teaches political science at York University and is a member of the
Toronto New Socialists and the Workers’ Assembly. Todd writes on Canadian
imperialism in the Americas and travelled to Honduras in January.
Moderated by Luis Granados of Barrio Nuevo and the Latin American Solidarity
Network.
