Dear John,

The coronavirus knows no nationalities, ethnicities or borders. So why is the Trump administration dead set on isolating the U.S. from the rest of the world and abandoning humanity across the globe? As heartbreaking news of the U.S.'s growing number of cases consumes our lives, we, the American people, risk losing sight of how COVID-19 continues to ravage countries that have already been destroyed by U.S. economic sanctions, occupation, and war.

In hopes of amplifying the reality of life in these countries and highlighting the inequalities laid bare by the coronavirus, we're turning to YouTube to educate, inspire, and connect us during these strange times. We invite you to join us this week as we begin streaming CODEPINK webinars on YouTube Live! 

Our first Youtube Live will be this Wednesday, April 1st, at 12 pm ET as part of our series: WTF Is Going on in Latin America? Last Thursday, the U.S. Department of Justice slapped Venezuelan President Maduro and other government officials with drug trafficking charges. But without a shred of evidence, these allegations bring up serious questions regarding the true intentions of the DOJ. Latin American affairs expert Fulton Armstrong will join Teri Mattson to discuss the allegations made against Maduro and to contextualize this occurrence within a larger pattern of U.S. foreign affairs in Latin America.

For a hot pink education on current events, global inequality, and U.S. foreign policy, you can revisit our past great webinars on YouTube or on our webinar archive. Here’s just a look at some of the COVID-19 webinars we hosted last week:

Medea Benjamin and Ariel Gold in conversation with brilliant Iranian author and analyst Trita Parsi about the coronavirus crisis in Iran, how U.S. sanctions are impacting Iran's ability to address the pandemic, and what we can do to help lift the sanctions. 

Last week on WTF Is Going on in Latin America?, Vice President of Venezuela's Ministry of Human Rights, Larry Devoe, joined CODEPINK's Teri Mattson for an in-depth analysis about the expansion of U.S. sanctions on Venezuela as the country braces for COVID-19. 

We hope that you’ll join us on Youtube Live this Wednesday, April 1st, at 12 pm ET for WTF Is Going on in Latin America? and for all of our future webinars to come!

Towards peace, 
Medea, Jodie, Ariel, Ann, Asia, Ayanni, Camille, Carley, Caty, Cody, Emily, Jodie, Kelsey, Leonardo, Makena, Medea, Michelle, Nancy, Paki, Teri, and Yousef
