As the political, social, and economic crisis in Venezuela worsens, more and more Venezuelans are fleeing their country. Governments across Latin America are responding to the exodus, and the international community is increasingly looking for opportunities to support humane responses on the ground. Join us for a conversation on the roots of the crisis in Venezuela, the regional reactions to the situation so far, and policy recommendations for a coordinated and humanitarian response.
