More than 100 actions have taken place in the United States alone to protest the illegal U.S. invasion of Venezuela and the kidnapping of its president, Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores. Maduro has been taken to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York in the wake of a federal indictment accusing him of drug trafficking. The United National Antiwar Coalition (UNAC) strongly condemns this illegal attack and kidnapping and applauds the antiwar movement in the U.S. for its quick response to these illegal acts.
According to Donald Trump more than 150 aircraft were used in the attack on Venezuela in which Caracas and several other cities were bombed. The Special Operation Delta Force along with the CIA were involved and according to Trump there was significant opposition on the ground.
Trump claims the U.S. will run the country and its oil industry for the benefit of the U.S. oil companies. There can be no clearer violation of international law than what we have just witnessed. But Trump does not have the last word. The Venezuelan Supreme Court has made the vice president, Delcy Rodriguez the new interim president. She has given a defiant speech in which she has stated that Nicolas Maduro is the only legitimate president of Venezuela and that the Bolivarian Revolution stands strong. People have taken to the streets in Venezuela to oppose the U.S. actions which have been widely condemned by countries throughout the region and throughout the world.
Delcy Rodrigues has also stated that the illegal operation of the U.S. has a “Zionist tint,” apparently referring to the “decapitation” operations that Israel conducts against resistance forces and governments. These don’t work for Israel, and they will not work for the U.S. Whatever happens in the coming weeks in Venezuela, it is the people of Venezuela who will decide their future, not Trump.
In the face of this imperialist aggression, UNAC expresses our complete solidarity with the people of Venezuela. We pledge our solidarity and will continue to resist alongside the Venezuelan people.
Stop the War on Venezuela!
Free President Maduro and Cilia Flores!
Oppose U.S. Imperialism in Venezuela and around the world!

| UNAC Needs Your Support |
Dear UNAC supporter,
Start the new year by supporting UNAC and the antiwar movement. UNAC does not get funds from rich donors; we only get funds from our members and friends. Please help us once again.
The US has attacked Venezuela and kidnapped its president, Nicolas Maduro. It continues to support Israel as it violates the Gaza “ceasefire” daily, attacks Palestinians in the West Bank, it has bombed Nigeria and builds towards war with Iran, Lebanon and others. The US continues to seek war with China and continues its effort to support NATO in its war in Ukraine against Russia.
The US pursues its war at home as it sends troops and ICE agents to our communities and imposes economic polices that hurt working people and the poor, while supporting the billionaire class.
For all these reasons a strong, antiwar coalition that enables unity among antiwar groups is necessary as we go through these dangerous times.
We hope we can once again depend on your support.
Thank you,
The UNAC Administrative Committee
