December 10 is the anniversary of the signing of the United Nations’ Universal Declaration on Human Rights. Organizers with the Americas Without Sanctions campaign are holding an event (in-person and virtual) in Washington, DC to raise awareness of the US’s illegal economic war on one-third of the world’s population on Human Rights Day. See SanctionsKill.org for details.
Clearing the FOG speaks with Barbara Larcom of the International Nicaragua Solidarity Coalition and Cheryl LaBash of the National Network on Cuba about the event and the current crises facing Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela as a result of US sanctions on them and how these are connected to the liberation of Palestine.
Guests:
Barbara Larcom is the current chair of the international Nicaragua Solidarity Coalition, which supports Nicaragua’s sovereignty and celebrates its many achievements. She also coordinates Casa Baltimore/Limay, a 39-year friendship project linking Baltimore, MD, with the town of San Juan de Limay, Nicaragua.
Cheryl LaBash is one of five co-chairs of the National Network on Cuba, the US umbrella organization for Cuba solidarity.
