1) Petition Campaign
We are launching a petition campaign to gather signatures on President Maduro’s Open Letter to the people of the U.S. calling for No War on Venezuela!
A campaign to gather 10 million signatures on the letter is already underway in Venezuela. We’ll be gathering signatures here in the U.S. and delivering them to the White House at demonstrations in DC March 16th and 30th.
If you would like to collect signatures, you can print out the petition here or pick up copies at the Solidarity Center (147 w 24th St 2nd Floor)
To sign or distribute the petition online go to NoWarOnVenezuela.org
The landing page of the website has been updated to feature the petition.
Fact sheets about Venezuela are also available at the Solidarity Center and online here.
