Las Piloneras

A group of Venezuelan citizens, driven by the challenging economic, political, security, and health crisis affecting their families, spontaneously united to protest through traditional songs, especially the Pilón and other Venezuelan melodies. As a peaceful protest movement, they adapt these ancestral work songs with new lyrics to express their desires for change and raise awareness about their difficult circumstances.

They continue to take action through non-violent marches and gatherings in public spaces like community streets, long lines for basic goods, shopping centers, public transportation, and any place where their message can reach. Their goal is to raise citizen awareness and hope through creative, peaceful actions, denouncing the hardships they face while encouraging others to join in the struggle.
