Read the Venezuela Solidarity Network's latest statement

Now more than ever, after the U.S. attack on Venezuela and the kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro and First Combatant Cilia Flores, we must stand with the people of Venezuela as they fight to defend their sovereignty and self-determination.

Who is the Venezuela Solidarity Network?

We are a group of North American activists in opposition to the attacks on Venezuela by the U.S. and Canada. Our intention is to build a solidarity group focused on Venezuela similar to existing groups addressing Cuba and Nicaragua. We will focus on responding to the imperialist threat and avoid engaging in the internal politics of Venezuela. We will start with a core group of activists and then branch out, incorporating more individuals, activities, and campaigns as our organizational capacity develops.

The group intends to serve as a catalyst for solidarity work around Venezuela and to be a place to exchange ideas and launch projects and campaigns. Our focus will be to lift the deadly U.S. sanctions, lead the North American struggle to free President Nicolás Maduro and First Combatant Cilia Flores, and fight against all forms of imperialist attacks against Venezuela. Our meetings will regularly report on and discuss the current situation in Venezuela.
