Caracas, Venezuela, has been designated as the host city for this year's 16=
th World Festival of Youth and Students, which is to take place in August. =
The festival, which has been a traditional gathering for young progressives=
since 1948, usually draws thousands of youth and students from more than 1=
00 countries.=20
The slogan for this year's festival is "For peace and solidarity--we stand =
against imperialism and war." Therefore, it is fitting that the festival is=
taking place this year in Venezuela--a country whose people are standing s=
o strong against imperialism in the face of continuous threats from the U.S=
. government.=20

The Youth of the Fifth Republic (JVR)--the youth organization of the party =
led by Venezuelan President Hugo Ch=E1vez--had proposed that the festival b=
e held in Caracas this year. The JVR is organizing all the festival activit=
ies in Venezuela.
Venezuelan youth have participated in every aspect of the struggle to defen=
d the Bolivarian Revolution and Ch=E1vez from U.S.-backed right-wing forces=
. Now youth from all over the world will have a chance to show their solida=
rity with the Bolivarian Revolution and with the heroic youth of Venezuela.
Youth and students in the U.S. are already preparing to take a large and br=
oad delegation to Venezuela this summer. A recent meeting of the U.S. Natio=
nal Preparatory Committee for the Festival in Chicago drew over 100 people =
representing more than 40 youth and student organizations from across the c=
ountry. They represented a range of struggles--from farm worker organizers =
to anti-imperialist activists. There are Local Organizing Committees in mor=
e than 20 cities already and more still being organized.=20
The 14th World Youth Festival, held eight years ago in Havana, Cuba, drew m=
ore than 800 delegates from the U.S.--the largest U.S. delegation to date. =
Many of those youth wanted to see the revolutionary process in Cuba for the=
mselves and show their solidarity with the Cuban people.
Similarly, the Bolivarian Revolution is inspiring many young people in the =
U.S. to take part in this year's festival. The National Preparatory Committ=
ee hopes to bring hundreds of youth from the U.S. to support the Venezuelan=
people and the struggles of youth from all over the world.=20
The festival will include an anti-imperialist tribunal, artistic and cultur=
al events, and athletic activities.=20
