Imagine. Someone, who is unknown to you, commited such terrible crimes. They killed two people, and the daughter became an orphan. How would you feel if you lost both of your parents? Then, someone was almost raped when they were at their university. How terrifying would that be?
But, since Venezuela has high rates of violence, nothing can really stop these crimes. So, what you would have to do is to ask for the policies to be changed, but no one was giving in to your demand. But what if you and thousands of other people got involved. There would be a much higher chance of you getting your way. But still, the government just ignores your demand, and sends security forces to be sent to deal with the protestors.
There is a high chance that you could be arrested, injured, or even killed. You would be starving to death, because hunger strikes would be one of your only options left. You would be so tired, you would love the idea of sleeping on the pavement instead of your own comfortable bed, because sit ins would be one of your only options left, as well as hunger strikes.
You would get into even more trouble if you damaged public property, but this is your way of showing that you would like to have your way. Imagine, government buildings and public transportation destroyed. The protestors would be responsible for this.
Worst of all, you would have had to go through this routine over 6000 times this year.
Well, unfortunately, this is a reality. People in Venezuela are protesting, because their crime policies are very bad. If you can do anything to stop this issue from going any further, do it right now. They need your support. They need PAZ. (peace)
Thank you

What can you do?
Hopefully, you will have read my previous post, which is an introduction to this campaign. If not, then read that first. Otherwise, this post won't make sense.
This issue is really big. There are thousands of student protestors, going on hunger strikes and sit ins, so that the policies of Venezuela can be changed. This isn't healthy, and there have been over 45 deaths, over 650 injuries, over 2000 arrests, and over 6000 protests in the last six months. Imagine, giving up food, feeling so tired that you want to collapse into a deep sleep right onto the pavement. All of this should really stop. Right now.
So what should we do about it?
Tell others about the awful protesting in Venezuela. If you don't feel like doing a massive action to stop these protests, then tell someone who is most likely to do it themselves.
Send a letter to Amnesty International. They are carrying out the biggest campaign of all to stop this issue.
Donate some money. The best way to support a cause is by donating. You can make a big difference by doing this.
Start a public petition. This is bound to get lots of signatures, plus, it won't take long to sign.
Maybe you be the change. You be the one to do something. If you choose to make a difference in this world, then do so. Whether you are the leader of a huge campaign, or if you sign a petition, you are making a difference.
Thank you.
Do you want this person and thousands more to be safe? Stop the protests today

Introduction
Hi everyone!
I am a student from Diocesan School for Girls. I want to raise awareness of protesting that is occurring in Venezuela, Spain. I hope that by the time you have finished reading this post, you get a good understanding of what is happening in Venezuela.
On January 6 2014, when the protests started, actress and former "Miss Venezuela" Monica Spear and her husband, Thomas Henry Berry, were killed in a roadside robbery. Their five year old daughter, Maya Berry Spear, was not killed, but she is now an orphan.

The protests were more earnest after someone tried to rape a university student on a university campus in San Cristobal.
There have been at least 6,369 protests that have taken place over the last six months, with thousands of student protestors in all of these protests. Most of them have occurred in February and March. The protests erupted largely as a result of Venezuela's high violence rate and crimes, and shortages of basic goods. People have protested in the form of hunger strikes and sit ins to call of policy changes. Clashes with security forces have been frequent, and small groups of protestors are responsible for damage on public buildings and
transportation.
Nicolas Maduro's government have been disapproved of, for the security forces method of handling protests, for example, security forces have used tear gas and rubber pellets, according to organizations such as Amnesty International and Human Rights watch.
