On Tuesday, January 6, the Organization of American States (OAS) will hold a special Permanent Council meeting “to consider recent events in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela,” following the kidnapping of Venezuela’s sitting president and escalating U.S. actions inside the country.
We are mobilizing outside OAS headquarters at the exact moment this meeting takes place because the OAS has a long and documented history of providing political cover for U.S. intervention, regime-change operations, and violations of sovereignty in the hemisphere, including in Venezuela.
As the OAS meets behind closed doors to “consider” Venezuela, we will be outside demanding:
- Recognition of the kidnapping of a sitting president as an illegal act under international law
- An end to U.S. military, intelligence, and coercive actions inside Venezuela
- Respect for Venezuelan self-determination and the right of Venezuelans to decide their own future
Venezuelans inside Venezuela are mobilizing, organizing, and demanding the return of their president. Their voices are largely absent from U.S. media. We are showing up to amplify those voices and to say clearly: HANDS OFF VENEZUELA!
