Speaking tour by RUBEN PEREIRA from Venezuela
Coordinator of Social Movements for Bolivarian Alliance of the Peoples of Our America
The rise of the Occupy movement – from Wall Street to Sydney – reflects the mass dissatisfaction and growing anger about the injustices of capitalism. In Latin America, a united organisation that reflects and fights for the needs of the people – the 99% - against the greed and destructiveness of the corporations is changing the shape of politics across that continent, and the world. The Bolivarian Alliance of the Peoples of Our America (ALBA) was launched by Cuba and Venezuela in 2004 and now includes eight Latin American nations.
Rubén Pereira, from Venezuela, is the Coordinator of ALBA’s Council of Social Movements, and a member of ALBA’s Executive Secretariat. He is visiting Australia this month to speak (in Sydney and Brisbane) about the Council of Social Movements’ work to strengthen people’s power and unity in the struggle against neoliberalism and imperialism, and for social justice, peace, social security and self-determination, in harmony with nature.
