Dear Naclistas,
This week, we're excited to share our inaugural Photo of The Week. Marcelo Pérez del Carpio is a Bolivian documentary photographer who usually works between Caracas and La Paz. His photographs have been published in The New York Times, TIME, Newsweek, Bloomberg, Getty Images, The BBC, El País, Univision, Financial Times, Neue Zürcher Zeitung, NRP, and NPR, among other media.
A young woman walks as she wears a medical mask as a precaution against the coronavirus (Covid-19) in a Blvd. in downtown La Paz, Bolivia on March 13th, 2020. A few days later, Bolivia's interim president mandated a nationwide lockdown until April 15th to avoid the spread of the virus in the country and suspended the presidential election until September.
Many thanks to Marcelo for the submission. The deadline to submit to our next newsletter is Wednesday, April 8th. Please remember to use the subject line 'NACLA Photo of the Week.' We also ask that photo submissions be sent with a caption (50 words or less) and a short bio (50 words or less) to info@nacla.org. We'll be selecting the image that best sum up the week in your part of the Latin America.
On that note, please find below the week's articles published on nacla.org, which includes coverage of the response to COVID-19 in Brazil's favelas and the Bolsanaro administration's worsening threat to press freedom.
Finally, we wish to express our gratitude for the support of our readers and invite each of you to make a tax-deductible DONATION and/or SUBSCRIBE online to receive four quarterly issues of the NACLA Report, including our most recent issue on U.S. foreign policy in Latin America.
In solidarity,
NACLA Staff
P.S. Stay home, stay home, and take care of one another!

Sanctions and other forms of economic warfare have long caused serious harm for countries on the receiving end of Washington’s efforts to impose its policy agenda. Could a progressive U.S. administration marshal economic power at the service of people, not capital?

By defining violence narrowly, the asylum system—and human rights organizations that uphold it—legitimates deporting people back to face everyday injustices. The pandemic only further illuminates this inhumanity.
