Where can people do more to listen if they want to as they approach this issue?
In so much as people are still approaching it because half the US media has forgotten about Venezuela already.
There's a lot going on for sure.
But I want to say, like, this might be a little bit annoying, but learn Spanish, right?
If you're going to advocate for a specific group of people, at least learn the language, you know, so that you actually know what people are talking about, right?
Not everybody speaks English.
Not everybody's going to speak your language.
So if you're actually going to take advocacy for Venezuela seriously, then you should learn the language straight up, right?
So that you, it's easier for you to get into these conversations, see what local activists are saying, see what the news are saying, like see even what our leaders are saying.
So I think that's one of the first things.
I think another thing, I mean, there are some like English language, Instagram accounts or like posting things.
But I think the biggest thing is to be for the people.
And what do I mean by that?
Everyone wants to claim that they are for the people, but very few people actually are for the people, right?
So what happens is they might hear like, I don't know, a Venezuelan person saying, oh, thank you, USA, for taking out Maduro.
