This international gathering promotes Global South unity against imperialism and neofascism.
From Tuesday to Thursday, Caracas will host the “Assembly of the Peoples for Peace and the Sovereignty of Our America,” an event organized by the Simon Bolivar Institute for Peace and Solidarity Among Peoples and the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV).

The opening day includes the screening of a short documentary on the creation of the “National Council for Sovereignty and Peace,” the reading of the Assembly’s foundational political document, and keynote addresses by international experts.
Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yvan Gil thanked the more than 500 participants from around the world for gathering in his country despite the threats emanating from Washington.
“The Empire has unleashed its full media power on Venezuela to generate an unprecedented psychological war. However, we never doubted it: the peoples of the world have reacted decisively to support the path toward consolidating peace in Venezuela,” he said.
Over the three days, participants will set up discussion panels to analyze topics such as: Bolivarianism vs. Monroeism; peace in the face of the militarization of Latin America and the Caribbean; economic war and political extortion through unilateral coercive sanctions; voices opposing cognitive warfare and defending truth as a contested global arena.
Other panels will focus on human dignity, ecological sovereignty, migration, environmental justice, resistance to global supremacism, and unity among the Global South peoples. During the event, participants seek to promote the idea of the “Brilliant Generation,” presented as an alternative to the so-called “Generation Z.”

The text reads, “The People’s Assembly has begun in Caracas! The epicenter of global dignity. We raise our voices against Yankee imperialism, which threatens peace in our region. Venezuela must be respected!
On Wednesday, the Assembly will hold a closing plenary session to present the agreements and resolutions reached by the participants. It will also culminate with the proclamation of the “Caracas Manifesto for the Peace, Sovereignty and Truth of the Peoples.”
On Thursday, a large “Concert for Peace and the Sovereignty of Our America” will take place in La Guaira state, featuring invited musical groups from across the Caribbean.
This international gathering was convened by Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on Oct. 31 during the closing of the Greater Caribbean Parliamentary Meeting, held in Caracas with representatives from 14 countries and delegates from five continents.
Currently, the Assembly of the Peoples is consolidating itself as a key platform for raising objections and adding voices against the dangerous U.S. military deployment in the Caribbean Sea.
Under the pretext of fighting drug trafficking, that deployment threatens the stability and security of the entire region, which the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) declared a “Zone of Peace” in 2014.
