Join these speakers for a 90-minute exploration of Nicaragua’s resistance to violent overthrow, US intervention, and coercive measures (“sanctions”).

Sara Flounders is editor of the new second edition of Sanctions: A Wrecking Ball in a Global Economy.  Produced by the SanctionsKill Campaign, it is a comprehensive overview of coercive measures imposed on more than 40 countries, including Nicaragua, by the US and in turn by many of its allies.
Nan McCurdy will provide background on several prisoners, 222 of whom were recently released in Nicaragua and given passage to the United States.  Nan is the editor of NicaNotes weekly.
Dan Kovalik teaches International Human Rights at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law.  He is the author of a number of books, including the recently released Nicaragua: A History of US Intervention and Resistance.

This event is part of a monthly webinar series on Nicaragua.  Additional organizational sponsors are welcome.  Contact Barbara@NicaSolidarity.net to sign on.
