Danger of U.S. Military Intervention in Venezuela Grows
February 23 will be a decisive day of struggle in Venezuela and around the world – 130+ cities plan actions
*Please share widely across lists, networks, and on social media*
The stakes could not be higher as people across the globe prepare to mobilize in solidarity with the Venezuelan people on February 23 and to oppose the growing imperialist threats of intervention and war.  More than 130 cities plan to hold actions this weekend – find and join one near you.

February 23 will be a decisive juncture and a day marked by struggle to defend Venezuela both inside the country and around the world.

Massive demonstrations in Venezuela have shown that the majority of the people support Maduro and the Bolivarian Revolution. As it becomes clearer each day that the coup attempt has failed and lacks popular support, the desperation of the opposition and the imperialist forces that are their primary source of support grows. This is demonstrated by the increasingly hostile statements made in recent days by U.S. President Donald Trump, Senator Marco Rubio, U.S. National Security Advisor John Bolton, U.S. envoy Elliot Abrams, and others who are determined to reopen Venezuela’s vast oil and natural wealth to plunder by Wall Street.

The corporate media is working overtime to build the case for more deadly sanctions and direct military intervention. The “Venezuela Live-Aid” planned for Friday evening on the Colombia-Venezuela border by English billionaire Richard Branson is a critical piece of the war propaganda blitz that every major newspaper and TV station is readily pushing forward. In Venezuela, a Hands Off Venezuela concert is planned for the Venezuelan side of the border that same evening, and more popular mobilizations are planned throughout the country during the weekend.

Our international solidarity movement must be on full alerts, and redouble our efforts to build strong actions this weekend, while also preparing to quickly mobilize in the days and weeks that follow.

ALL OUT FEBRUARY 23! NO WAR FOR OIL!

More than 100 cities are planning actions in the coming days. There are many actions that we are hearing about but do not yet have concrete information on, or others that are being organized now given the urgent situation facing Venezuela – be sure to check the site for the most up to date list to find an action near you.

A major press conference took place on Wednesday in New York City outside Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer’s office, announcing the tremendous worldwide day of solidarity planned on February 23 – watch video of the press conference here.

Here are a few things that we’ve prepared to assist with preparations for this weekend’s activities:
Please consider making a donation to support the organizing for the global day of action on February 23 to say: No War on Venezuela! Every mobilization has many costs in web sites, social media, signs, banners, printing and producing materials, and more. Help us keep building the struggle against US War On Venezuela!

US SOUTHCOM is a nefarious entity whose track-record includes toppling governments throughout Central and South America and the Caribbean, propping up right-wing governments and dictators, arming death-squads throughout the hemisphere, and committing troops to countries within the region.
