Claudio found the trip very worthwhile, and he was able to speak to many, many people about the situation in Chile, and in particular the student movement which shook that nation last year and has inspired a resurgence in social movement activity in the country.

The Latin American Solidarity Network (LASNET) invites you to a discussion and information night about a new mega-project that the capitalist power is trying to impose in Latin America, the so called IIRSA (Initiative for the Integration of Regional Infrastructure in South America). 12 South American countries are involved in this project, this so called capitalist integration project will destroy the Amazonia, devastation of the lands and displacement of Indigenous people, privatises water and natural resources, increase the exploitation and poverty for the excluded people and the contamination of our planet. No consultation or people’s participation throughout the continent have been organised during the creation, development and review of this project. A LASNET representative attended the Capitalist's Crisis, Re-Colonisation and Grassroots Popular Alternatives International Gathering in Bolivia. At this Gathering various grassroots popular and indigenous movements get together, to oppose this Capitalist integration project, and others that the Capitalist dominant sectors are attempting to implement to save their profits, such us Puebla Panama, Plan Colombia, etc. LASNET and other international solidarity organisations took the task to build links and solidarity in Australia and the Asia Pacific region with social, political and indigenous organisations fighting capitalist to support the popular and indigenous grassroots organisations in resistance and struggle against capitalism. LASNET was the only representative from Australia and the Asia Pacific region during this international meeting. During the workshop we will explore the huge challenge that LASNET assumed in the development of create awareness, understanding and support for social, political and indigenous movements fighting against capitalism and how we can globalise our hopes and struggles. Why the 12 countries in South America have been hiding this project since 2000? We will attempt to answer these questions during the workshop More information of the Internationa gathering in Bolivia go here GLOBALIZE THE HOPE! GLOBALIZE THE STRUGGLE!

LASNET Newsletter Spring 2009-Summer 2010 2009  Dubán Vélez  Pascual Pichún Emergency Meeting Program & Speakers  Protest/Rally for Colombia & Honduras, March 20 Thank you to all the comrades who came to the demonstration in support of the Latin American people, Honduras, Haiti and Chile. More than 50 people attended the demonstration on March 20th in Federation Square, Melbourne to protest the presence of US in Latin America and against the 7 military bases in Colombia and a strategic base in Honduras. Our demonstration was also a protest against the regime of President Uribe because of its innumerable human rights violations through the forced displacements,the criminalisation of social movements, the jailing of peasents and indigenous people and the persecution of the people of Colombia by its anti-terrorist policies. What is more our demonstration was also in support of the workers and union leaders who are suffering daily persecution for defending their rights. We send them fraternal greetings from Australia to the workers of the Coca Cola multinational in Colombia who are fighting for workers rights and their own survival. We were also protesting the criminalisation of international solidarity, because the solidarity that we represent supports marginalised people and the original inhabitants of Latin America. Thanks again to all the organisations and unions who gave their support for Sinaltrainal and the social organisations of Colombia on their behalf we send a big thank you.
