On Saturday, March 16, thousands of people will march in Washington, D.C. against the Trump administration’s effort to engineer a coup in Venezuela and a new devastating war there. The aggressive policy against Venezuela repeats the ugly pattern of wars for regime change in the oil-rich countries of Iraq and Libya. National Security Advisor John Bolton is reading from the same script, declaring a “troika of tyranny” in Latin America (like the “axis of evil”) as a precursor for regime change first in Venezuela, and then Cuba and Nicaragua. Trump has always said that the “mistake” of the Middle East wars was that the U.S. didn’t “take the oil.”
It is time to stand up and with a clear voice say NO to the newest example of the “Monroe Doctrine,” which the U.S. government has used for over two centuries to repeatedly invade Latin America and Caribbean, control its politics and extract its resources.
The White House aims to overthrow the government of President Nicolás Maduro and replace him with Juan Guaidó. Guaidó is a U.S.-trained operative who was unknown to the vast majority of Venezuelans before he proclaimed himself president — at Vice President Mike Pence’s urging. Although Guaidó has the backing of Trump, the CIA, and the Republican and Democratic Party leaderships alike, huge numbers of Venezuelans have marched to reject this coup and defend their independence.
On March 16, the people of the United States will come together to say:
U.S. hands off Venezuela!
NO to the coup — the U.S. does not have the right to select other country’s leaders!
NO to the sanctions, oil embargo and economic war on Venezuela that aims to cause suffering for ordinary people in the country.
NO to intervention and war from the U.S. and their proxies in the region
Donate to the march, and help cover thousands of dollars of up-front printing and transportation costs.

In an excellent 5 minute video, San Francisco resident and Peace & Freedom Party's presidential candidate in 2016, Gloria La Riva, reports on how the Venezuelan government provides for its people with federal financing of affordable housing, the only way affordable housing can be built, unlike the anti-labor US government, which refuses to pay for affordable housing, but instead pays for war to steal the oil of Venezuela. The US military only exists to maximize the profits of the oil companies and the munitions makers. See
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krTp7MRpsKU
As one person in the video states, paying for housing is a social investment, and the Venezuelan government spends 73% of its budget investing in its people. Over 50% of the US budget goes to the war machine, and all social programs are being cut to pay for the war machine as that is where the greatest profits are, maximization of profit being the sole goal of a capitalist society.
Both Republican Trump and Democrat Nancy Pelosi staunchly support the pending attack on Venezuela to privatize and steal Venezuelan oil, the largest oil fields in the world. As we have seen many times, including the 200,000 plus marchers at peace demonstrations that ended the US war against Vietnam, only a massive outpouring in the streets can stop US imperialist war against Venezuela. Call everyone you know on the Atlantic Coast and tell them to go to Washington DC on March 16, 2019 for this crucial demonstration.
You can then register Peace & Freedom or Green as they are the only 2 peace parties. You can register online at https://registertovote.ca.gov/
