[act-ma] 1/25 Emergency Action Against US Coup in Venezuela, Copley Square 5:30 p.m.

[Charlie Welch]

Emergency Solidarity Action for Venezuela!
We are supporting the emergency call--issued by a left organization--for 
a demonstration on Friday at 5:30 p.m. Please see below for the Facebook 
event and check there for updates on times and locations.

Background: There is a right-wing coup attempt underway in Venezuela 
orchestrated by the Trump White House and the CIA along with its junior 
partners — the so-called Lima Group. The democratically-elected 
government of Nicolás Maduro has broken relations with the U.S. 
government and ordered the U.S. embassy in Caracas closed and all its 
agents to leave the country within 72 hours. We are witnessing once 
again a classic example of U.S. imperialism and its proxies attempting 
to carry out an illegal regime change operation against a legitimate 
government. People all over the world need to stand in solidarity with 
Venezuela in this critical moment.

The Trump administration’s rhetoric about human rights and democracy is 
completely hollow. Venezuela is in fact being targeted because it has a 
socialist government that challenges corporate power and resists 
Washington's diktat.

We call on all progressive people and opponents of U.S. wars and the 
military industrial complex to rally in defense of Venezuela’s 
sovereignty and the Bolivarian Revolution.

Say NO to US intervention in Venezuela!
End the Sanctions!
Respect Venezuelan Sovereignty!
Imperialists Hands OFF Venezuela!
