New Podcasts on U.S.-Cuba Policy and Central American Asylum Seekers, FARC Demobilization, and More...

Dear Naclistas,

It's been an intense summer so far in the Americas: from the recent conviction of Lula in Brazil to a situation in Venezuela that grows increasingly desperate, there is much to wrap our heads around. 

That's not to mention the threats posed by the presidency of Donald Trump, whose plans to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border seem to be moving forward as discrimination and targeting of undocumented communities deepens. That's the subject of our latest NACLA Report, "Wall off Trump: Confronting the Donald Trump Era." If you're a subscriber, you should be receiving it in the mail any day now. If not, subscribe today to receive the quarterly magazine and take a deep dive into the most pressing issues in the region.

We thank you for your ongoing support!
