🇻🇪 Join us in our fifth and final session of our Public Study with Restoried Bookshop! We’re wrapping up our reading of ‘Why Venezuela? How the US Tries to Undermine Democracy and Sovereignty in Latin America’ with an earthquake relief fundraiser.

🗓 Thursday, July 23
⏰ 6:30 P.M.
📍 @restoriedbookshop (4613 N Kedzie Ave.)

‘Why Venezuela?’ is a collection of essays from bold thinkers—journalists, organizers, scholars—from across the region. Covering all fronts, these essays take on the task of answering the titular question, interrogating history in order to understand how the US tries to undermine democracy and sovereignty in Latin America, with its particular fixation on Venezuela.

The essays critique the US and opposition’s roles in undermining this revolution, exposing the media’s distortions and the roots of the right wing in Venezuela. They also contextualize the grassroots character of the Revolution and the broad impact that it has had on the Latin American region—a region the US has long sought to control.

No prior reading necessary. We welcome all who are interested in learning and growing with the community in Albany Park!
