President Hugo Chávez dedicated his life to the poor people of Venezuela. He transformed their lives and transformed their country.
On March 6, the day after his death, I spent 11 hours waiting with friends to pay my respects as his body was slowly transported through the city. It took much longer than expected, as hundreds of thousands of people filled the streets and the giant stadium where the procession ended to get a glimpse of the passing casket. The crowds sang and clapped along with popular songs about “El Comandante”, shouting: “Chávez lives, the struggle continues!” “The people united will never be defeated!” “I am Chávez!” When the body finally arrived at night in the National Military Academy for viewing, the line of people waiting was more than two kilometers (one mile) long!
Why did so many people go? Why were they willing to wait so long? And instead of being a somber occasion with everyone dressed in black, why did so many wear bright red T-shirts, or headbands with the national colors, and why were they singing and shouting slogans? . . . → Read More: Evaluating the Legacy of President Hugo Chávez Using the Progressive Utilization Theory (Prout)

See her Facebook page. “I’m fed up with writing about the problems of the world. I want to be a part of the solution. Learning of Prout was incredibly exciting for me. I finally found an all-encompassing, alternative system that addresses the root cause of society’s problems. I just want to tell the world!” . . . → Read More: Kate Johnston, journalist and activist
