The Nicaraguan Crisis: A Left Perspective
In partnership with The Working Group on the Nicaraguan Crisis (WGNC)
The crisis in Nicaragua has divided the Left in the United States and throughout the Americas. Significant sectors of this international Left claim that President Daniel Ortega and Vice President Rosario Murillo represents a leftist project for Nicaragua that should be defended, and that the United States is trying to overthrow the government. This event aims to address those claims from an explicitly leftist perspective.
