"TEACH-IN AND TOOLKIT LAUNCH: SANCTIONS UNDERMINE CHILDREN’S RIGHT TO HEALTH"
3pm ET, 1pm Nicaragua, noon PT, 8pm UK/Greenwich
REGISTER: bit.ly/NicaApril19
One of the proudest accomplishments of the Cuban, Nicaraguan, and Venezuelan revolutions has been the right to health, guaranteed to all citizens through universal healthcare. These countries have some of the best child health indicators in the world, but those gains are threatened by unilateral coercive measures, especially those imposed by the United States.
Americas Without Sanctions will present its new teach-in materials to explain how the US blockades of Cuba and Venezuela undermine children’s right to health.” As we demand that the US Government Stop Killing Children with Sanctions, we also call for a Peoples-Centered Human Rights framework.
SPEAKERS:
Ajamu Baraka, founder of the Black Alliance for Peace and Director of the North-South Project for Peoples-Centered Human Rights
Jill Clark-Gollub, Coordinator of Americas Without Sanctions, a project of the SanctionsKill campaign
Jess Cruz: researcher and activist with Americas Without Sanctions
Read the SanctionsKill letter to the US government demanding an end to Child-Killing Sanctions.
