Venezuela: Protesters plan to march in Caracas June 2
Protesters to march in central Caracas, Venezuela, from 09:00 June 2. Increased security, localized disruptions likely.
Event
Unionized health workers plan to protest in central Caracas June 2. Participants will gather in the vicinity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (Sagrado Corazon de Jesus) church from 09:00 and then march to the office of the Vice-Presidency, located on Avenida Urdaneta. The action is over working conditions and to demand the payment of benefits. Participation is unclear, but unlikely to exceed the low hundreds.
Authorities will likely deploy to monitor the protest. Localized ground travel disruptions are likely along the march route. Violence is not likely, but cannot be ruled out entirely.

Plan for localized ground travel delays. Heed the directives of local officials. If violence occurs nearby, leave the area immediately and seek shelter in a secure location.
