We Protest, We Want Change!!


Protest: an expression or declaration of objection, disapproval, or dissent, often in opposition to something a person is powerless to prevent or avoid.


Another day, another protest. Students took "Playa la Caracola" in Margarita and wrote "SOS Freedom of Expression" with their bodies.

The students have changed the tone of their protests to more pacific and academic declarations of disapproval. Many agree on the change, many disagree. The truth is, there is no way we can fight a violent battle against the goverment. However, we will win. Our weapons are our minds, our hearths and our will to work for a better future.

We will get where the goverment will never be able to. We will show our fellow Venezuelans that IF we want to we can make things can change for the better.

You can insult us, you can ignore us, you can close our channels of communication and place cops in our halls. But you wont shut us up, we will be heard.

Caracas - Womens March For Freedom





Saturday: Students Protest Inside of the largest shopping center in Caracas.







Isla Margarita - S.O.S Freedom of Expression



Zulia - Students Burn the Ball of the "America Cup" and chant "We want freedom, down with Chavez, Long live the Universities"


We will be heard.
We wont back down.
We have no political agenda.
We want a better Venezuela.

Tu blog es muy bueno, necesitas publicidad! Una manera de hacerlo es que te pongas a dejar comentarios en donde quiera que veas un blog hablando sobre Venezuela, para bien o para mal, así linkean a tu blog y sustentas tu opinión. Pídele apoyo a Miguel del blog Devils Excrement (no recuerdo la dirección) está linkeada a otro al que le tienes que pedir ayuda: http://daniel-venezuela.blogspot.com , si sabes de más personas que estén en esto avisa! pienso hacer una red de bloggers, especialmente del movimiento estudiantil para que en conjunto podamos aumentar la cantidad de lectores. Yo tambie´n escribo así sea para un solo lector. Pero la idea es que nos escuchen, mientras más mejor.
