In Venezuela they practice participatory democracy with their vote today on community projects. In LA we protest at our councilmembers homes so they can hear our concerns. Only to be told by CD1 rep Eunisses Hernandez, take the deal I gave you cuz its the best you will get.

Two victories in court today! In Los Angeles, tenants win against evictions. In Venezuela, the Venezuelan Supreme Court ratified the vote of the people and declaring Pres. Nicolas Maduro as the winner of the Presidential elections!

[Elizabeth Blaney @ElizbethBlaney]

Excellent idea from Venezuela! Instead of creating a department like the US "war on terror" Venezuela is creating a Department to end fascism . We should follow suit! https://t.co/gKOsRaqTu5

The Apache Stronghold stops in LA on its prayer journey to Washington DC where they will continue their struggle taking back the land stolen from them. Land should be a shared space for collective use as opposed to the profit generating purpose its been turned into.

I had the opportunity to be in an interview with Olga Alvarez, former deputy magistrate of the Venezuelan Supreme Court and expert in electoral processes. Here is part of the interview with an excellent summary the process and next steps.

[Elizabeth Blaney @ElizbethBlaney]

Updated results just announced with 96.87% of the votes transmitted despite the terrorist acts againt the National Electoral College and in Chavista neighborhoods, the majority of Venezuelas democratically elected Nicolas Maduro . The undemocratic action of the US will not stand!

What I witnessed in the Venezuelan elections:

Ballots counted publically with party reps and community members

Consistent procedures followed across polling centers

8 losing candidates accepting defeat; 1 losing candidate causing violence bcuz they couldnt get the votes

[Leonardo Vilchis @VilchisLeonardo]

Things that I've seen during elections in the US:

Polling places not opening on time

Polling places closed

Polling places missing

But have never heard of opposition rioting,
and never heard of foreign media questioning the results

[Elizabeth Blaney @ElizbethBlaney]

The US believes in democracy BUT has unilaterally decided who the president of Venezuela is despite who Venezuelans actually voted for? I can't wait to see what country gets to decide who our president will be in November! #handsoffvenezula
