The US White House’s statement supporting Juan Guaidó’s illegal government in Venezuela is another example in the long historical line of the US meddling in the affairs of Latin America. The Trump regime, largely backed by two major American political parties, is fomenting a coup in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. It is our duty oppose it.

For centuries, the US has used its military, statecraft, and financial resources to inflict misery and death onto the workers and peasants of Latin America. We say no more to this bipartisan thuggery! We call on DSA members in elected office to condemn this coup and fight against it by all means necessary. We call on all DSA members to pressure these elected officials and to consider US imperialism in all of the work that we do. Hands off Venezuela!
