Stop Trump’s Blockade of Venezuela

Saturday, December 20th @ 1pm
Outside Park Street station in Boston
Join us Saturday, December 20, at 1:00 PM at Park Street Station to rally
against war.
On Tuesday President Trump proclaimed “I am ordering a Total and Complete Blockade of all sanctioned Oil Tankers going into and out of Venezuela…Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada every assembled in the history of South America. It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before.”
The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court clearly defines “the blockade of the ports or coasts of a State by the armed forces of another State” as an act of aggression. This proclamation is an act of war. In response Venezuela’s government ordered its navy to escort tankers from port, escalating the risk of confrontation (Boston Globe Dec. 18).
This blockade is only the latest U.S. provocation that includes murdering 95 civilians in boats off South America’s coast (Deliberately killing 2 survivors of these attacks while in the water); declaring a No Fly Zone over all Venezuelan airspace; and last week seizing an oil tanker carrying Venezuelan oil on the high seas. President Trump has told us that these attacks are only the beginning.
These provocations are backed up by a vast war armada, equipped with the most modern missiles and bombers, sitting off Venezuela’s coast, In addition 15,000 U.S. soldiers on those ships and in Puerto Rico are ready to invade at a moment’s notice.
With the situation getting more dangerous by the day, the goal of the rally is to call on everyone to do what they can to prevent war.
Join us to Demand:
- An immediate end to the Blockade of Venezuela’s ports
- Ending Trump’s piracy of oil tankers on the high seas.
- Stopping all executions of civilians in small boats off the coast of South America
And most important, withdraw all the U.S. warships and weapons from the coast of Venezuela and bring our sailors, airmen and marines home for the holidays where they belong.
