CBS Boston highlighted the mobilization of the Venezuelan community in Massachusetts following the devastating earthquakes in Venezuela and the efforts underway in Boston to support affected families and coordinate relief assistance.
The report reflects the concern experienced by many Venezuelans living in Massachusetts for their relatives and loved ones in Venezuela, as well as the uncertainty faced by families during the first hours following the emergency.
In this context, CBS Boston highlighted the work of Venezuelan organizations and community members helping families stay connected, coordinating volunteers, and working to ensure humanitarian assistance reaches those who need it most. The report specifically notes that the Venezuelan Association of Massachusetts (VAM) launched an emergency fundraising campaign to support rescue efforts, medicines, and other humanitarian needs.
The article also features comments from Ciro Valiente, a spokesperson for VAM, who encouraged members of the community to contribute according to their ability and emphasized the importance of responding with solidarity to the suffering of those affected.
CBS Boston’s coverage helps bring visibility not only to the emergency facing Venezuela, but also to the organizational strength and solidarity of the Venezuelan community in Massachusetts.
For VAM, this response reflects our commitment to connecting our community, mobilizing resources, and supporting those who need them most during times of emergency.
We thank CBS Boston for bringing visibility to these efforts and for helping share the solidarity of the Venezuelan community in Massachusetts with families affected in Venezuela.
