As Washington escalates its hybrid war on Venezuela for pursuing an independent path, this panel will bring voices together to discuss what meaningful solidarity looks like from within the U.S. empire. We’ll examine the commune as a cornerstone of Venezuela’s democratic and socialist project, and highlight how U.S. activists can support Venezuelans’ right to sovereignty.
