Join the Party for Socialism and Liberation this Friday, July 3, for a Public Forum in Los Angeles for a discussion about the right-wing military coup in Honduras, what’s happening now, and what workers in the U.S. are doing to support the Honduran people’s struggle. There will be political talks, discussion and opportunities for action. Join the struggle for socialism today!
The Honduran military coup leaders kidnapped the democratically elected president Manuel Zelaya in the middle of the night, forged a resignation letter and declared Roberto Micheletti, a legislator, as the country\'s new president. In addition to forcing Zelaya into exile in Costa Rica, the ambassadors of Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua were reportedly kidnapped and beaten, before being released. Meanwhile, the country\'s private television stations are spreading misinformation, clearly cooperating with the coup-makers.
It hardly requires a crystal ball to see that this brazen, undemocratic move is an attempt to reverse Honduras’s growing association with the continental left-wing shift. President Zelaya has led Honduras into the ALBA bloc, increased social spending, and advocated for a new constitution that provoked outright hostility from the country\'s pro-U.S. elite. But the tide is turning, and only the people can reverse the coup. Be part of the discussion about Honduras and \"democracy\" on Friday.
Plus: Discuss what real workers\' democracy looks like in Cuba, as opposed to the fake \"democracy\" of fascists in Honduras or the imperialists in Washington.
