Global Day of Action in Solidarity with Venezuela: January 17

No War, No Overthrow, No Coup, No Sanctions!

We are calling for an end to U.S. hostility toward Venezuela, including sanctions, threats, & war. U.S. pressure on Venezuela is escalating, risking another war for oil!

Join us for a Global Day of Action on Saturday, January 17 in solidarity with Venezuela by organizing an action in your town! Actions can take many shapes and sizes, from rallies, vigils, and sit-ins at U.S. embassies, military bases, elected officials’ offices, marches and protests in town squares, to teach-ins and forums, to letter-writing, phonebanking, petitioning, passing local resolutions, and much more.

Background on U.S. Hostility towards Venezuela

• The United Nations Charter makes it a crime to threaten war and a crime to wage war except in defense or by UN authorization, neither of which is the case, and neither of which has even been alleged
• President Donald Trump’s claims about the illegal drug trade regarding both Venezuela and approximately 100 people thus far killed in boats with U.S. missiles from drones are without evidence and widely considered not even plausible
• Sanctions illegally imposed on Venezuela by the United States, resulting in tens of thousands of deaths, have now been exacerbated by acts of war including the declaration of a no-fly zone and of a naval blockade
• Even United States Army Judge Advocates General have denounced Trump’s actions as “patently illegal”
• In a recent poll, 63% of people in the United States oppose military action in Venezuela
