On May 9, 2020, the Sanctions Kill coalition based in the United States held the first in a series of webinars on the United States’ illegal economic coercive measures imposed on 39 countries and one-third of the global population. This webinar featured representatives from six countries: Cuba, Zimbabwe, Nicaragua, Syria, Venezuela and Iran. Each of these targeted countries shares common struggles to maintain their sovereignty and provide basic necessities for their people while trying to build new forms of governance in the face of aggression and interference from the United States. It is rare to hear directly from government representatives from targeted countries in the United States and it is important for us to understand what is happening in a way the corporate media will not provide. The second webinar is on Sunday, May 31 at 1:00 pm Eastern. See the Facebook event page or register directly at https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_f5ntIQ8ORBC6u1cts7t7vQ.
