Thank you. We are living in disgusting times. While I have outlived
the average life expectancy, I fear for the lives of my children,
grand children and great grand children...and those of all People.
While our so called Leaders squabble over the possession and control
of the Land, Nature is busy making other plans.

Dear Miriam,
On Saturday, May 4, Tighe Barry, a CODEPINK member of the Venezuela Embassy
Protection Collective, was arrested outside the Venezuela Embassy. As he was
trying to put up a canopy next to the building (the pro-Guaidó people have
10 canopies along the perimeter of the embassy), he was mobbed by a violent
pro-Guaidó crowd, who pushed him into a Secret Service police officer. Barry
was then arrested and falsely charged with assaulting the policeman, and he
is still in jail. We are certain that this arrest was politically motivated
and baseless (as would be evidenced in any video).
Tighe is scheduled to appear in court on Monday morning, May 6. We need you
to take action.

Please join us in asking Jessica K. Liu, the US Attorney for the District of
Columbia, to do the right thing: Dismiss the case (“no paper” the case) and
release him immediately.
The right-wing, pro-Guaidó crowd have illegally and dangerously put the
building under siege, keeping us from getting inside and preventing us from
bringing food or medicines to our team already inside. Unfortunately, the
Secret Service is working with them, as evidenced by Tighe Barry’s false
arrest.
Our Embassy Protection Collective has been peacefully and legally living in
the embassy since April 15 at the invitation of the Venezuelan government.
Our goal is to keep it from being illegally turned over Guaidó forces. We
are waiting for some arrangement between the US and Venezuela governments to
put both countries’ embassies—the Venezuelan Embassy in DC and the US
Embassy in Caracas--under the protectorate of third countries, as in the
case of Iran where that embassy is now an “Interest Section” under the
protection of Pakistan. This would be a peaceful, conciliatory solution to
the present standoff.
In the meantime, we need to get our colleague Tighe Barry out of jail.

Please contact US Attorney Jessica K. Liu and ask her to dismiss the case
(“no paper” the case) and release him immediately.
Towards peace,
Ann, Ariel, Carley, Caroline, Jodie, Kelly, Kelsey, Kirsten, Lily, Maya,
