Hands off Venezuela 

Week of Protest sees 100 Actions Demanding No War with Venezuela

Protest actions took place in 100 locations during the week of November 15 – 23.  Protests occurring across the U.S. and Canada as well as in Australia, Britain, the Dominican Republic, Germany, Greece, Iran, Mexico, Napal and Pakistan. In the U.S., protesters also called for an end to federal troops in our streets and a number of protests also raised the issue of ending the genocide in Gaza and Sudan.  Click here to see a list of the actions.

Polls have indicated that as much as 70% of the people in the U.S. oppose the threatened military intervention in Venezuela and the extrajudicial murder of people in small boats by the U.S. military.

The week of action was an important first step in building opposition to the U.S. war moves in the region.  We must stay mobilized to defend against further war moves by the U.S. government. Future actions are being planned.
