On Monday, September 13, solidarity activists protested outside the US Congress against the RENACER Act, which stands for the Orwellian title, “Reinforcing Nicaragua’s Adherence to Conditions for Electoral Reform.” The bill is part of the United States’ effort to undermine the presidential election in Nicaragua this November to prevent President Ortega from being re-elected.
The RENACER Act would place more unilateral coercive economic measures (aka Sanctions) on Nicaragua, facilitate greater coordination of the US’ economic war on Nicaragua with Canada and the European Union, create stricter oversight of financial institutions doing business with Nicaragua and impose greater Visa restrictions.
The Alliance for Global Justice has an action page directed toward the US Senate to stop passage of the RENACER Act. Click here to take action.
Here are tweets from the action yesterday:
What is the RENACER Act?
Barbara Larcom, Coordinator of Casa Baltimore Limay, explains what it is and says there’s still time to pressure Congress to oppose this proposed bill which targets the Nicaraguan people and Sandinista Revolution. (1 of 2) pic.twitter.com/UoNZm8cfb2
