April Delegation to Venezuela: Human Rights, Food Sovereignty & Social Change


The Alberto Lovera Bolivarian Circle of NY invites you to join us in April for a 10-day trip to Venezuela examining advances in food sovereignty and other initiatives for social change. Start off in the capital city of Caracas, then travel to four additional states, including visits to newly formed cooperative farms and rural development projects in the countryside; community and national media outlets; government sponsored social programs, including Mercal markets and Barrio Adentro medical clinics, and much more. Meet with farmers, community leaders, and government officials. Sightseeing and visits to some of the country's beautiful beaches and other natural areas will also be included. Basic information is below, and more information will be forthcoming. Anyone interested should email cbalbertolovera@ gmail.com as soon as possible. Space is limited.
