Frente Francisco Miranda

We are four years old, work with all of the missions, and we are anti imperialist. We bring up anti imperialist tribunals, educating people about how capitalism doesn´t benefit us. The issue is with the transnational and people who make war for money. Our mission is to break the hold they have on us. They dominate us with our own ignorance. The majority of people involved are youth aged 18- 25.
Most participants have the opportunity to take a course on social work in Cuba. All of us are volunteers.
They call themselves fighters and there are 21,000 participants across the country.
The front began after Chavez and Fidel were talking about how to bring young, new blood into the revolution.
One guy said, “We are the catalyst for the new changes.”
“Our role is to teach people their rights and how to access those rights, like how to vote.”
They think that there are more women than men members.
Our work is going to the barrios, we talk to people, if we find people who are not yet involved in missions yet, we try to get them involved.
If we find people using drugs, we take them to the rehabilitation center.
We all should be part of the territorial reserve of civilians in order to be prepared in case of an event, but most of us are too busy with our social work. The territorial reserve is open to all. It is a civilian militia that meets a few times a month in various parts of the country.

We have reading study groups, we discuss what the president says at the UN, and read Marx etc.
