Featuring Richard Becker, A.N.S.W.E.R. organizer from San Francisco
Richard Becker recently traveled to Damascus, Syria, to represent the A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition at an international conference about Palestinian refugees and their struggle for the right of return. He also toured the country and learned about the intensified U.S. campaign to bring about "regime change" in Syria.
Why is the U.S. government threatening Syria? What is Syria's relationship to Lebanon and other surrounding countries? Why do all progressive activists need to understand the U.S. government's motives in Syria and the Middle East? Join us at the first A.N.S.W.E.R. Public Forum of 2006 for answers to these questions and more. We'll discuss how Syria is connected to the war on Iraq, the Palestinian struggle and the greater anti-imperialist struggle in the Middle East. U.S. hands off Syria!
Plus: Update on March 18 & 20 Global Days of Action against the war and occupation of Iraq.
