The annual award for a Human Rights Defender from the Andrew Blane Memorial Fund is given this year to Marianna Romero of Venezuela.

With all the bad things happening in the world, Venezuela's human rights situation has taken a back seat for the world's attention. Yet the situation continues to be challenging, and one person who is fighting back is Marianna Romero. We are happy to support her with the annual Andrew Blane Memorial Fund Award for Human Rights Defenders. Please join us to celebrate Marianna's efforts, and join in a discussion with her on Zoom. The event will be bilingual.
