The week of March 30 to April 7 is a gathering of war makers in Washington DC. They must be opposed!
No to NATO, War & Racism! No War on Venezuela! Join a major demonstration in front of the White House on March 30
US generals and the war planners of NATO are gathering for a “Summit Meeting” April 4.
NATO is the aggressive US commanded military alliance responsible for massive death, destruction, homelessness and waves of refugees in Iraq, Afghanistan, Yugoslavia, Syria and Libya.
At past NATO Summits of the war makers, people around the world have organized massive protests: in Chicago (2012), Wales (2014), Warsaw (2016), Brussels (2017 & 2018) There were mass protests at the Washington DC Summit to expand NATO in 1999.
Now in 2019 at this NATO Summit we must denounce NATO’s continuing wars and the coming war on Venezuela.
Join ‘No War on Venezuela’ contingents in DC at the March 16 Hands off Venezuela and the March 30 No2NATO mobilizations. We will deliver signatures on President Nicolás Maduro’s ‘Open Letter to the People of the U.S.’ directly to the White House.For the last 5 months across the US activists have been making plans to confront the NATO Generals and demand: Stop the Wars! Say No to NATO, War and Racism!
The No2NATO2019 mobilization helped to organize the February 23 Global Day of No War on Venezuela in 153 cities around the world. Now international activists are coming to Washington DC on March 30.
WHY? Because a new US war is on the horizon – on Venezuela
- First the US imposed drastic sanctions and economic destabilization on Venezuela.
- Meanwhile Colombia was ominously accepted as a global partner of NATO. This brings a foreign military alliance with nuclear capability into Latin America.
- Then on January 23 the Trump Administration attempted a coup to overturn the elected government in Venezuela.
- All the members of the NATO military alliance rushed to immediately recognize the self-appointed US puppet Juan Guaido.
In Venezuela and around the world this past month millions of people have been in the streets opposing a new US war.
As Trump declared that: “all options are on the table”, demonstration organizers were unanimous in immediately centering the demonstration opposing US/NATO wars on the escalating war threat on Venezuela!
We invite you to Washington DC to confront the War Makers Summit and to raise a united demand: No to NATO, War & Racism! No War on Venezuela!
We urge you to support all protests and actions against US/NATO wars.
Join us on Saturday March 30 in the streets and join a week of meetings, conferences and street actions from March 30 to the April 4 Black Alliance for Peace meeting on the anniversary of the assassination of Dr Martin Luther King.
