Hands off Venezuela launched in Brighton

A very successful meeting took place in Brighton on Thursday March 2. The meeting was organised by “Hands off”, which is a group based in Brighton that aims to support activists. It also sees its role as educating themselves in the issues which confront those struggling for peace and justice. (See http://www.watchingthewarmakers.org.uk/ for more information.)

They have regular discussions and this month’s topic was the turn of the Venezuelan Revolution, and they invited a Hands Off Venezuela speaker to introduce the discussion.

Despite being told that maybe only a few would turn up, around 70 people turned up and the meeting was excellent, including a very lively debate. There was a lot of interest in the subject, which again shows the enthusiasm that can be generated for the Venezuelan Revolution and the fact that something positive is happening in the world.

At the end of the meeting signatures where collected from people who wanted to help with the campaign. Around 30 people queued to leave their contact details. As a follow-up, an HOV meeting is being organised for the end of March.
