  Rally At Parliament Against U.S. Imperialism In Latin America Saturday 24 January 2pm Rally at Parliament then march to US Embassy Wherever you’re from, people deserve a real say over their country’s political leadership, economy, and future. But across Latin America, that basic right is being threatened by foreign interference, coercion, and ongoing threats of forced political takeover. For more than a century, the United States has repeatedly overruled the democratic will of Latin American peoples, supporting coups against elected governments, installing dictatorships and far‑right regimes which murder political dissidents and trade unionists, crush popular movements, brutalise Indigenous communities, tear apart forests, rivers, and ecosystems, and push working people into hardship and degrading conditions.

Image
On July 20, 2001, 23-year-old anarchist Carlo Giuliani was shot dead by police during protests against the G8 summit in Genoa. To his credit, he succeeded in attacking the police van with a fire extinguisher.   Originally published by Abolition Media Worldwide . At the time, the global movement was facing off against capitalism. 1999’s Battle for Seattle had inspired the forces opposed to global capitalism’s human exploitation and devastating effects on the environment the world over. Further remarkable actions against George Bush’s election and inauguration, at the World Bank/IMF meeting in Washington D.C., and at the G7+1 meeting in Okinawa, Japan lead up to the G8 meeting in Genova, Italy. Simultaneously to these mass mobilizations and actions that were making it increasingly difficult for the world’s most powerful leaders to meet, strategies for Another Possible World were in the making. Finding its roots in the Zapatista uprising on the day that the North Americ...
