Venezuela is facing a heartbreaking human rights and humanitarian crisis that President Maduro’s administration denies is happening. His government is brutally cracking down on dissent while severe food and medicine shortages make it near impossible for many Venezuelans to feed their children and access the most basic healthcare. Infant mortality rates are soaring. According to the New York Times, hundreds of children have died from severe malnutrition. Some Latin American leaders are speaking up, while others are ambiguous or worse, silent. It is time to join together and tell Maduro that enough is enough!
April 19 marks the one-year anniversary of the first mass protest that was brutally repressed in 2017. Please show your support for the Venezuelan people.
A few words from Ricardo Montaner
Ricardo Montaner is a singer-songwriter born in Argentina. Starting his career in the late 1970s, he has already released more than 15 albums with many successful singles and has sold over 30 million record worldwide. He moved to Venezuela as a child after his parents moved there from Argentina. He is now lending his voice for change. Watch the video below and join him in saying, we will not stand by another day while our Venezuelan neighbors go hungry.
Latin Americans and their governments should speak out and urge President Nicolás Maduro’s government to recognize and tackle the devastating human rights and humanitarian crisis in Venezuela.
