Groups and individuals-including figures linked to Black Lives Matter, the Democratic Socialists of America, the People&#8217;s Forum, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, the National Lawyers Guild, and the Alliance for Global Justice-allegedly met with Maduro, spoke at events in venezuela, or served as election observers. The piece cites instances such as maduro&#8217;s 2015 Harlem visit, U.S. delegates at Caracas summits, and BLM co\u2011founders&#8217; attendance at World Social forum events. critics quoted in the article (notably Heritage Foundation fellow Mike Gonzalez) trace the outreach back to Hugo Ch\u00e1vez&#8217;s 2006 speech and claim Venezuela deliberately built influence with U.S. leftist networks; one allegation-that Ch\u00e1vez paid Opal Tometi-relies on an anonymous defector. After Maduro&#8217;s arrest (reported as occurring Jan. 3), some U.S. groups organized protests in his support. The article also notes a dispute over the legitimacy of Venezuela&#8217;s elections: some U.S. and international officials called the 2024 results fraudulent, while delegations such as the NLG defended the process based on thier observations. Several groups mentioned did not respond to requests for comment.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro and his <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >socialist regime spent years coordinating<\/a> with American leftist movements such as Black Lives Matter before the U.S. removed him from power.<\/p>\n<p>BLM activists, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani&rsquo;s Democratic Socialists of America, and other groups met with Maduro, spoke at events alongside him, or became official observers for Venezuela&rsquo;s heavily criticized elections for more than a decade, according to the groups&rsquo;
