U.S. government officials and other high-profile individuals repeatedly portray the overwhelmingly popular and democratically-elected government of Hugo Chavez as a dictatorship and a "negative force in the region". The U.S. government has even attempted to overthrow the Chavez government. At each provocation, the workers, peasants, and poor of Venezuela have mobilized by the millions to defend themselves. The Venezuelan people have a sovereign right to determine their own destiny without foreign interference. By joining the Emergency Response Network, you pledge to take solidarity action with the people of Venezuela in the event of further provocations. Hands Off Venezuela!

By signing up for the Emergency Response Network you will receive email alerts with suggested actions in the face of egregious US government actions toward Venezuela.

Groups are welcome to submit short notices of volunteer opportunities in Venezuela or the US for inclusion here. If you are a volunteer looking for opportunities in your own community, please send an email to VSN@afgj.org including your name, city, state, and phone number and we'll attempt to match you up with others doing Venezuela solidarity work in your area.
