Participants want an end to representative democracy.
“Death to racism and discrimination” — this was the central demand made during this weekend’s International Afro-descendants Encounter taken place at the Caracas Hilton Hotel.
The Encounter revolved around the main theme of “State Modernization: From representative democracy to participative democracy from ethnic perspectives.”
One of the proposals presented during the event was the possible signing of an agreement between the Brazilian and the Venezuelan government, with the purpose of developing public policies to end racial discrimination.
During the event, the participants came up with the Caracas Declaration and a Plan of Action, through which they voiced their concerns regarding racism and the mistreatment they continue to face for being dark skinned.
