Condemning the US War Against Venezuela and Calling for the Release Nicolás Maduro
In the early morning of January 3, 2026, the United States invaded Venezuela and kidnapped President Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores. This is the latest in a series of murderous, lawless actions taken by the Trump administration in violation of Venezuelan sovereignty.
The United States government has made plain it intends to seize Venezuela’s oil and install an imperial-puppet regime dominated by American corporate interests. This is simply the latest effort in the United States’ decades long neo-colonialist imperialist war on the nation and it’s people in order to rob it of the world’s largest oil reserves.
Pittsburgh DSA stands in solidarity with the Venezuelan people. We condemn these outrageous actions and call for the immediate release of President Maduro and Cilia Flores and a complete cessation of hostilities towards Venezuela, including an end to the military blockade, sanctions, and horrific strikes on Venezuelan people.
Solidarity with the people of Venezuela! Solidarity with the Bolivarian Revolution!
