Celebrate Venezuelan courage with leaders and activists discussing freedom, democracy, and the fight against socialism. Join us.
Join us for A Conservative Celebration of Venezuelan Courage, a powerful event honoring the bravery, resilience, and unbreakable spirit of the Venezuelan people in their fight for freedom. Hosted by the Hispanic Caucus of the New York Young Republican Club, this gathering will spotlight the ongoing struggle against socialism, the pursuit of democracy, and the stories of those who refuse to be silenced.
The evening will feature influential voices, journalists, activists, and community leaders who have lived through or closely followed the Venezuelan fight for liberty. Together, we will discuss the humanitarian crisis, the collapse of democratic institutions, the rise of authoritarianism, and how conservative values—faith, family, freedom—play an essential role in Venezuela’s path forward.
This event is not only a celebration—it’s a call to unity. A moment for conservatives across Latin America and the U.S. to stand together, defend freedom, and support Venezuelans at home and abroad.
If you believe in democracy, human rights, and the power of truth, this is an event you won’t want to miss.
