themselves to minimum wage jobs in order to find living conditions better than those which are found at home.
in addiction to this, Venezuela is being attacked by US UK and others, starving the people, denying them meds, denying them basic needs.

this country is going through a lot of economic issues since october and no one talks about them. there are people that their minimum salary is of 300k pesos chileons (373dollars) of course not everyone has that amount of money.
i#
so to be able to make it till the end of the month you might probably need to have two jobs. there public transportation is now really expensive and the bus is 700 pesos (almost 10 dollars) and the subway is 800 pesos (11.32 dollars) which this for Chile is a lot.
also don’t forget that they have to go in public transportation two times a day and maybe five times a week or more. Also paying their houses its really expensive for them and thats why most of them are not in good conditions.
Because of all this they started to manifest since october and police intervened in a violent way.

Also in mexico they may approve the law thats called “Federal Law of Copyright” which this one means that any type of copyright u make its going to have their consequences. That’s why places that make+
photocopies, repair phones or computers, they all become illegal and they must close then. So unemployment it’s going to start getting worst. For getting “legal” things or for example a good access to the internet you have to pay way more than before.

Mayan is a place from Guatemala that has lot of mexican and some people from the south of usa. Nowadays, USA wants to steal this place to fund tourists attractions. The idea is to build a Mormon theme park in the land. People who lives there becomes employees from the+
park instead of stakeholders. This park is going to destroy history from Guatemala and also getting Mayan at some point its a way of colonization.

As most of you know, undocumented immigrants have a lot of problems with the USA government. Most of them are sent to jails and others back to their country. In these jails none if them have water or soap, and with all that’s happening now they need it. A 34% of the deaths from+
covid in the USA are latinos. Kids are alone without their parents and they look for other homes or maybe sending them back to their country but without their family. None of these latinos are able to go to a hospital and make a test of covid bc if they do they might go to jail+
so their health here is at risk. We need to help them with anything we can so im leaving here some petitions to sign.
