	"description": "Join Maine DSA for the first part of a two-part political education series on US imperialism. This session focuses on the history and current reality of US sanctions - what they are, who they target, and what they actually do to working people around the world. Presented by Matt C. and Beckham O. We&#x27;ll cover the broad landscape of US sanctions programs, take a deep look at Cuba and the decades-long blockade, and examine Iran from the 1953 CIA-backed coup to today&#x27;s maximum pressure campaign. Each section includes time for group discussion. This is Part 1 of 2. Part 2 will focus on short- and long-term solutions. All are welcome. No prior knowledge needed.
