In the face of blatant, illegal U.S. attacks on Venezuela, popular movements around the world have taken to the streets in support of their Bolivarian Revolution. U.S. special forces operations, after months of massive deployment and build up of military forces in the Caribbean, President Maduro and Cilia Flores were kidnapped on January 3, charged with bogus “narco-terrorism” and conspiracy on January 5 and remain prisoners of war in NY. 

The Venezuelan people are resisting and we must support them. We must continue to defend and stand alongside the brave people of Venezuela, against U.S. terrorism and destabilization. From Gaza to Caracas to the Belly of the Beast, we must have coordinated and organized resistance against imperialist war for sustained and growing international solidarity. Join this online, international rally to say no to US military aggression; hear from international activists taking urgent action and coordinating resistance from around the world; and  commit to the fight for sovereignty, independence and just peace.

We understand that this is not a singular moment, but a continuation of the decades-long war on the Bolivarian Revolution to destroy Venezuela’s sovereignty, blockade the country’s economic and military alliances, and isolate the Venezuelan government from forming alliances with other Global South countries on their own terms. The U.S. revamped “America First Strategy” aims to outcompete its rivals such as China and Russia, while reasserting exclusive dominance over the western hemisphere, in line with the Monroe Doctrine tradition.

The rally will also be a platform to strengthen our collective mobilization for a coordinated week of resistance January 24-January 31 to target strategic political pressure points to stop the war on Venezuela in solidarity with the people’s resistance in Venezuela, Latin America and the Caribbean.

Join us to share and align concrete strategies and tools to organize: 

• Rallies and teach-ins in your neighborhoods, communities, university campuses, 
• Labor mobilization in unions to shut down the supply chains of imperialism,  
• Action tools targeting arms factories and ports that are providing the weapons for this aggression,
• Campaigns targeting the US military bases that facilitate operations and the US diplomatic institutions like U.S. embassies pushing the U.S. “America First Strategy”

Stop The War on Venezuela!

No to U.S. Wars for Regime Change! 

Free President Maduro and Cilia Flores!

Down with U.S. Imperialism!

Venezuela Se Defiende! No Se Rinde!

Venceremos!
