Solidarity with the Embassy Protection Collective! U.S. Hands off Venezuela!

Saturday, May 18 | 12pm | Venezuela Embassy (1099 30th St NW, Washington, DC)

BREAKING UPDATE: On May 16 around 9:30am, in a flagrant violation of international law, U.S. federal and other police agencies broke into the Venezuelan Embassy in DC and arrested the 4 who remained from the Embassy Protection Collective. This action has provoked international outrage. Click here to view livestream of this morning's events from TeleSur.

We salute and send solidarity to these courageous activists who have heroically defended the Embassy from right-wing coup supporters and the US for nearly 40 days. This outrageous provocation underscores the necessity and urgency of the mobilization planned for this Saturday, May 18, at 12noon at the Venezuelan Embassy. Developments are continuing to break, so please be on the lookout for further updates and ways to take action in solidarity with the Protectors and the people of Venezuela.

Solidarity activists are converging on Washington, D.C. this Saturday in support of the Embassy Protection Collective. They have spent nearly 40 days defending the Venezuelan Embassy from being seized by the US government and racist Guaido supporters.

On Monday, U.S. Marshals attempted to evict these activists from the Embassy, and have continued to threaten arrests since. But the people's fightback inside and outside the embassy forced the Marshals to back down and leave without arrests! The Embassy Protection Collective issued this statement on Monday as these developments were unfolding.

On Thursday, Rev. Jesse Jackson and other activists successfully delivered food and other supplies to those who remain inside the Venezuelan Embassy.

The U.S.-backed coup attempts in Venezuela have failed utterly in the face of the overwhelming popular mobilization of the Venezuelan people to defend the Bolivarian Revolution. In spite of this, the U.S. government continues to threaten military intervention in Venezuela, and has implemented a host of criminal sanctions against the Venezuelan people, engaged in cyber-warfare, and has supported .

They have tried desperately to overturn the Bolivarian Revolution to regain control to exploit and plunder the world's largest oil reserves. But they have been dealt defeat after defeat by the determination of the people of Venezuela and a vibrant international solidarity movement against imperialism.

Now is a critical time not only to mobilize in solidarity with the struggle to defend the Venezuelan Embassy in DC, but to demonstrate broad opposition of people in the U.S. to war plans against Venezuelan and express solidarity with the people's struggle there.

Diceva Gandhi:

Vivi come se dovessi morire domani. Impara come se dovessi vivere per sempre.

Non ho nulla di nuovo da insegnare al mondo. La verità e la nonviolenza sono antiche come le montagne. 

Non c'è strada che porti alla pace che non sia la pace, l'intelligenza e la verità.

Io e te siamo una sola cosa: non posso farti male senza ferirmi.

Occhio per occhio... e il mondo diventa cieco.

Ci sono cose per cui sono disposto a morire, ma non ce ne è nessuna per cui sarei disposto ad uccidere.

Per praticare la nonviolenza, bisogna essere intrepidi e avere un coraggio a tutta prova.

Nessun uomo può essere attivamente non-violento e non ribellarsi contro l'ingiustizia dovunque essa si verifichi.
