The US military is hurrying its aircraft carrier battle group, with destroyers, jet warplanes and nuclear submarines to the shores of Venezuela, while threatening Colombia and massing U.S. troops in Puerto Rico and throughout the Caribbean. 

Secretary of State Marco Rubio is calling for the military overthrow of President Maduro in Venezuela and the replacement of President Petro in Colombia. This is a build-up to another endless U.S. war – a war to militarize the whole Western Hemisphere. Relentless U.S. funded war on Palestine and throughout western Asia continues unabated.

Meanwhile the use of Federal troops and thousands of ICE agents in raids and mass arrests, along with massive increases in health costs and cuts to government services, are an attack on all working people in the U.S.

Using the false claim that it is combating drug trafficking, U.S. missiles have murdered crews of small boats, in the Caribbean and in the Pacific. The U.S. has killed dozens, so far from 4 countries, in secrecy, without evidence or due process of law. 

At the same time, they are sending their troops and ICE agents to our cities, with the false claim that they are fighting crime. They allege there is no money for SNAP benefits or healthcare benefits while the rich are getting yet another tax cut.

This move towards all-out war has nothing to do with drug trafficking. Venezuela has the greatest known oil reserves in the world - five times the U.S. oil reserves.  The Venezuelan government refuses to be dominated by the U.S.  It is determined to use its own oil, gas, coal, diamond and gold resources for healthcare, housing and education for the people of Venezuela, not for U.S. billionaires. The US attacks and open threats of regime change in Venezuela and Colombia are a blatant violation of international law.

It is time to take to the streets and resist these U.S. government and corporate attacks on people in Venezuela, Colombia, all Latin America and the Caribbean, while militarizing and repressing the people of the U.S.

Let’s join together, November 15 - 23, and build actions in cities, towns and campuses throughout the country.  Let the war makers know that we are opposed to war on people anywhere in our Americas. Build a Zone of Peace across our hemisphere.

We will continue to mobilize in local and regional actions in December, focusing on the December 17^thAnniversary of the death of Simon Bolivar, “The Great Emancipator”, against colonial domination in Latin America. 

RESIST U.S. Wars!
