- Is there is democracy in Venezuela?

Our speaker is Belkis Urdaneta, of ECODH: Equipo Comunitario en Derechos Humanos (Community Human Rights Organization), is a community outreach organization based in Maracaibo in the oil-rich Venezuelan state of Zulia.

Belkis has been working in community outreach for years, both in the capital of Caracas and most recently in the border state of Zulia. Through the Fundacion Buena Nueva, Belkis works with poor Venezuelans.
