Dear Friend,

The last year has seen a brazen revitalization of the infamous imperial Monroe Doctrine in Latin America. The Trump administration attempted a regime change operation in Venezuela and backed a military coup in Bolivia. Immediately, the ANSWER Coalition sprung into action and organized rapid response demonstrations and educational events in literally dozens of cities across the country. 

The U.S. empire doesn’t rest for a single day in its efforts to dominate the whole world, so neither can we! ANSWER is a one-of-a-kind organization that plays an indispensable role to mobilize people, in every part of the United States and on an emergency basis, to challenge the Empire’s aggressions as they’re happening. That’s why this "Giving Tuesday" we ask for your support in continuing to build this movement! <[link removed]>In the last month ANSWER chapters in every region of the country have organized rallies and protests to demand an end to the recent coup attempt in Bolivia.

Earlier this year, ANSWER chapters mobilized across the country to demand “U.S. Hands Off Venezuela” as soon as the news of the coup attempt broke. Then on March 16, 2019 in what became the biggest expression of solidarity to date in the United States with the Venezuelan people, the ANSWER Coalition and our allies mobilized thousands in a March on the White House to say no to the coup, war and sanctions on Venezuela! The day was adopted by anti-imperialist and peace organizations worldwide to denounce the coup attempt.

Following the National March on Washington, ANSWER chapters organized the Eyewitness Venezuela Speaking Tour featuring Gloria La Riva. La Riva spoke in over 40 cities on the unfolding situation in Venezuela, with a progressive perspective on the crucial issues facing the Venezuelan people: the U.S. economic sanctions, the U.S. media blockade, and the people's organizing efforts to overcome the aggression.

ANSWER organizers joined the Embassy Protection Collective in the defense of the Venezuelan embassy in Washington D.C. Starting in mid-April 2019, activists took up residence inside the Venezuelan Embassy to protect it from takeover by opposition forces as part of the U.S. orchestrated coup.

All this work, and the expanding reach of ANSWER into cities and towns across the country, is possible because of supporters like you! If you’ve marched with us before, or just follow this organizing work online, you can see that ANSWER’s effort is 100 percent people-powered. There are no multi-million dollar foundations that keep this organizing going year after year. Your contribution helps build an anti-war organization that has time and again proven itself to be among the most reliable and consistent in the country.  <[link removed]>

ANSWER is planning more anti-imperialist protests and educational campaigns in the new year focused on Latin America solidarity and against all of the criminal sanctions policies of the U.S. government.

We know that regardless of who is elected in 2020 and the campaign promises made during the election period, it is vital we continue to build a powerful, sustained, grassroots people’s movement in the United States. If you agree, make as generous a donation as possible to enable us to expand our work! Your support for this movement has never been more important. <[link removed]>
