7 kilometers, packed solid…
I’m just about to step outside and go march, but one last update: it’s huge. My boss just called me…he’s at the end of Avenida Libertador, about 7 km. out from the starting point. Says there’s asolid crowd there. The TV images show that there’s a solid crowd stretching all the way back to the Parque del Este starting point: the people at the back haven’t been able to even start walking, and those . That’s 7 solid kilometers of wide streets packed solid with marchers (that’s 4.4 miles, for the metrically impaired.)
As of 12:15 pm, the march remains fully peaceful. Fingers crossed.

We’ve been able to hang on for 19 years in one of the craziest media landscapes in the world. Now, the difficulty level was raised abruptly with the global pandemic. We’ve seen different media outlets in Venezuela (and abroad) cutting personnel to avoid closing shop. This is something we’re looking to avoid at all costs, and it seems we will. But your collaboration goes a long way in helping us weather the storm.
