The USA’s arms and interventions are causing death and destructing across the world. Israel’s genocide in Gaza would not be possible without Washington’s weapons. In Latin America the far-have taken power in several countries thanks to brazen electoral interference from Trump, his allies and outright fraud at the ballot box. Brazil’s presidential election in early October will be crucial in determining the battle for Latin America’s soul.
Despite the dark times in which we are living, from Palestine to Peru, people continue to resist and fight for a fairer world.
We are joined by celebrated historian and journalist Vijay Prashad to explore the real cost of the USA’s war on democracy and how people are fighting back. Chaired by journalist Sara Vivacqua and Pablo Navarrete (Alborada)
