In this emergency webinar, CovertAction Magazine brings together leading scholars, cultural educators, journalists, and humanitarian advocates to examine the escalating crisis in Cuba and Venezuela.
Featuring cultural historian James Counts Early, Venezuela specialist Steve Ellner, journalist and antiwar activist Gloria La Riva, U.S. foreign policy expert William LeoGrande, and humanitarian leader Bob Schwartz, the panel draws on decades of scholarship, reporting, and on-the-ground experience in the region.
Speakers will examine how U.S. sanctions, covert operations, and regime-change strategies have shaped political, economic, and social conditions—affecting everything from public health and development to constitutional reform and foreign policy.
Through historical research, cultural insight, investigative reporting, and humanitarian work, the discussion connects past patterns of intervention to today’s realities.
Join us for a rigorous conversation about accountability, sovereignty, and the future of U.S.–Latin American relations—and about who ultimately pays the price for these policies.
All proceeds support independent, investigative journalism.
