[Peace] Steve Ellner on Midwest tour in October, re: impact of Venezuela sanctions

[Robert Naiman]

Steve Ellner will be touring the Midwest in October on the effect of US
sanctions on the Venezuelan people.

An activist in Chicago working on the tour wants to know if there is any
interest among activists in C-U in having Ellner come to C-U.

If anyone here is interested in this, please reply to me directly.

Here's the beginning of Ellner's Wikipedia entry:

political science at the Universidad de Oriente
