Boudin and Gilbert were also convicted in the Brinks armored truck robbery. Thier son, Chesa Boudin, was raised by Ayers and Dohrn. Chesa Boudin co-authbored a book entitled, ''The Venezuelan Revolution'' sympathetic to the brand of communism promoted by Venezualan dictator [[Hugo Chavez]]. In 2005 Ayers delivered a talk at the "World Education Forum" in Venezuela that was translated by Chesa Boudin. Ayers told the group:
{{cquote|This is my fourth visit to Venezuela, each time at the invitation of my [[comrade]] and friend Luis Bonilla, a brilliant educator and inspiring fighter for justice. Luis has taught me a great deal about the Bolivarian Revolution and about the profound educational reforms underway here in Venezuela under the leadership of President Chavez. We share the belief that education is the motor-force of revolution, and I've come to appreciate Luis as a major asset in both the Venezuelan and the international struggle — I look forward to seeing how he and all of you continue to overcome the failings of capitalist education as you seek to create something truly new and deeply humane."<ref>[World Education Forum Centro Interncional Miranda, Caracas, Novdember 2006. Retrieved from http://billayers.wordpress.com/2006/11/ February 21, 2010.</ref>}}
Chesa Boudin is an editor of ''Letters From Young Activists,'' a 2005 book about a new "movement" for "progressive social change" that includes a preface from Bernardine Dohrn, who praises the "young militants" for trying to change the world. The book includes an endorsement from convicted cop-killer [[Mumia Abu-Jamal]] and gives thanks to "lifelong activist and educator Bill Ayers."<ref>[''Communism in Chicago and the Obama Connection''], Cliff Kincaid and Herbert Romerstein, usasurvival.org , pp. 8-9.</ref>
