John,

When NPR announced María Corina Machado won the Nobel Peace Prize, they presented her as a leader of the "far right." (They changed it later after facing backlash.)

That’s a weird thing to say about someone who has done so much for the worldwide freedom movement.

Thanks to the courage of María Corina Machado and her long pursuit to restore democratic norms and respect for human rights, Venezuela’s tyrannical authoritarian socialist government is now the focus of the world’s attention.

All of us at Atlas Network celebrate María Corina’s well-deserved recognition, having followed her commitment to peace and freedom for more than two decades.

Atlas Network has a long professional relationship with María Corina, who gave a speech at our annual Freedom Dinner in 2009, commemorating the fall of the Berlin Wall.

María Corina has tirelessly strived to promote democracy and fight dictatorship in her country, and Atlas Network will continue to stand by her side — and alongside all of the world’s freedom champions — every step of the way.

John, you can help Atlas Network bring freedom to people around the world by donating $10, $35, $100, or any amount today.

Atlas Network is in the middle of our End of the Year campaign to raise $50,000 before 2026. Please select an amount below to make a tax-deductible donation.

As of today, Atlas Network partners with 495 independent think tanks in 106 countries to drive change in ideas, culture, and policy; remove barriers to opportunities; and empower individuals to live a life of choice.

Pro-freedom think tanks in Venezuela were among the first Atlas Network partners in the early 1980s, and they continue to courageously stand for liberty to this day.

Atlas Network is comprised of freedom champions from around the world, just like our friends in Venezuela. Our partners address issues that infringe upon their liberty in a local context, empowering them to achieve policy change that makes a meaningful difference in the long term.

Their work is having a significant impact on the worldwide freedom movement.

Thanks to your support, Atlas Network partners achieved 270 freedom-expanding policy victories across 29 countries last year.
