Carlos Herrera is a Bolivarian grass roots activist who works with the local population with the aim of organizing direct action groups to develop projects that will benefit the communities. An additional objective is to bring home the message of popular, participative democracy as enshrined in the Bolivarian Constitution of 1999. These activities germinate into meetings and forums designed to make the average citizen more conscious of his rights, duties and role in contemporary Venezuelan society.

In recent years he has traveled extensively in Latin America and has the aim of informing the English speaking world about political and social movements in this most unequal of all continents. This is now even more vital as the historical struggle for real independence and self-determination gathers pace against the hegemonic pretensions of US imperialism, and the unbridled greed of the global corporate empire.
