 In September 2009 PCASC's anti-war delegation went to Venezuela.
The trip was done as an effort to cultivate ties of international solidarity
between activists for peace and social justice in the United States and Venezuela.
The delegation is part of an ongoing solidarity opportunity for
US peace activists here in Portland Oregon and the Venezuelan social movement.
To coordinate their work, with our work, across borders.

Our trip schedule Wed August 11th at 7:00 pm @ the Multnomah Friends Meetinghouse (4312 S.E. Stark Street) The Revolution in CrisisBenji Lewis reports back from his experiences as a journalist in Caracas, Venezuela.This Report Was Prezsented on 8.11.10 (And will be recorded)Conspiracies, tortures, murders, corruption and false divides have plagued the oil laden country of Venezuela and its people for decades. A backlash to the policies of the Washington Consensus turned the hand of a long, and often violently, suppressed revolutionary undertow into a mainstream political and social transformation led by Hugo Chavez. Benji Lewis will be offering analysis and helping to facilitate an open discussion on just what is taking place in Venezuela and throughout the southern Americas. The goods, the bads and the uglies are all to be brought to the table as we study a movement that has been on the verge of collapse from internal and external forces since its inception; yet - instead of collapsing - has managed to accomplish incredible aims in building a modern and just society.
Watch the complete presentation in two parts here:
