Help Melissa Atwell Defend Democracy

gofundme.com/f/help-melissa-at

"Melissa Atwell is a fearless political activist and former beauty pageant queen who has dedicated her life to exposing the deep-seated corruption in Guyana’s political landscape. By relentlessly calling out powerful political families and cronies, the so-called “friend families” and favorites who misappropriate our nation’s resources, Melissa has become a beacon of truth and accountability. Her courage in revealing how those in power pick Guyana’s money for themselves has made her a target, as those threatened by her revelations are trying to bury her voice.

Melissa’s fight is not just about exposing corruption; it’s about ensuring that no one is above the law. Every time she speaks out, she defends the rights of the working class and the marginalized, reminding us that accountability and transparency are the foundations of a true democracy. If Melissa is forced into silence, we aren’t just losing a courageous activist; we’re endorsing a system where power corrupts, and democracy is replaced by a form of oppression. We say no to the erosion of our democratic values and yes to a future of accountability and justice."

Gurpreet Singh went on an incredible journey only to be returned to his home country, #India. From 8/28/24 to 1/15/25 he traveled from northern India to Mumbai to #Amsterdam, #Venezuela, #Guyana, #Bolivia, #Peru, #Ecuador, #Colombia, the Darién Gap, every country in Central America except El Salvador, #Mexico and finally San Diego. In my opinion, it was not an easy trip.

Singh means "lion" in various South Asian and Southeast Asian communities.

I just want y’all to know, the people of Guyana think Maduro is a pig. His “standing up to America” doesn’t make him a good man, a hero. He’s trying to steal our Guyana land. (I would love to find out if Rassputin is poking him.)

And y’know what makes me angry too? When Maduro’s non-Venezuelan supporters tell me I’m wrong to criticise him. It’s not your land he’s trying to steal. Get off your safe soapbox and see how we of Guyana feel. Essequibo belongs to #Guyana.
