The U.S government is aggressively pushing forward its attempts to promote and facilitate a right-wing coup in Venezuela. President Trump recognized the opposition leader Juan Guaidó, who has never even run against the democratically-elected Nicolas Maduro. The U.S’s interference in another country’s election is the height of hypocrisy given the uproar around the so-called Russian meddling in U.S elections.

Once again we are witnessing the U.S.’s illegal interference in a sovereign nation of South America.

Join the Party for Socialism and Liberation this Sunday in saying no to U.S imperialism! We will begin the rally at 1pm at Pritchard Park and then march to the Federal Building on Patton.

NO COUP!
NO WAR!
NO SANCTIONS!
