CODEPINK Vermont and Allies Announce 'No War on Venezuela' Rally in Burlington
BURLINGTON – CODEPINK Vermont will join a 'No War on Venezuela – Stop the War Before it Starts' rally on Saturday, Dec. 6, at 11:00 a.m. on the top of Church Street to protest the escalating U.S. military actions toward Venezuela.
The rally aims to raise awareness and mobilize public opposition to the Trump administration's recent military build-up in the Caribbean and its threats of land strikes against Venezuela. Twenty-two years after the US went to war in Iraq based on lies, the Trump administration is preparing a major war against Venezuela based on lies. The rally aims to emphasize the importance of stopping this war before it starts. Polls show that a majority of the country does not support a war on Venezuela.
- WHAT: No War on Venezuela - Stop the War Before It Starts Rally
- WHEN: Saturday, Dec. 6 at 11 am
- WHERE: 1 Church Street (Top of Church Street)
ENDORSERS: ANSWER Coalition, CODEPINK Vermont, Migrant Justice Vermont, Green Mountain DSA, Party for Socialism and Liberation Vermont, UVM Students for Justice in Palestine, University of Vermont Young Democratic Socialists of America, Vermont Coalition for Palestinian Liberation, and Vermont Tempest Collective.
Recent U.S. military actions include the deployment of the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier strike group to the Caribbean, a move described by the Pentagon as part of counter-narcotics operations, but in reality is a pretense for a bloody regime change in Venezuela. Additionally, the U.S. has conducted multiple airstrikes on vessels in the Caribbean and Pacific Oceans, resulting in numerous fatalities, strikes that are now being rightfully called war crimes.
