How Communes Are Transforming Venezuela And Inspiring The World
Grassroots solutions that transform the present and shape the future emerge from adversity. This is a lesson the Venezuelan people will not forget. While the country has faced all manner of hardships—such as economic sanctions, military aggression, the abduction of the president, and even a double earthquake—organized people within the socialist communes have been transforming their own realities.
In the heart of Caracas, within the historic 23 de Enero neighborhood, lies one of the places where Venezuela is being reborn. For nearly two decades, the Panal 21 Commune has been transforming the lives of over 10,000 residents across nine local communities.
