VENEZUELA: EMBASSY PROTECTION COLLECTIVE ‘THE NEXT TWO DAYS ARE CRUCIAL’
Embassy Protection Collective Will Refuse To Turn Over Embassy To US Puppet
Government: Arrests Expected
By Kevin Zeese and Margaret Flowers, Popular Resistance
The next two days will be crucial for the protection of the Venezuelan embassy
in Washington, DC. The Embassy Protection Collective is prepared to stay at the
embassy for the foreseeable future, for as long as it takes to protect the
sovereignty of Venezuela from a coup led by the United States with its
fraudulent puppet government that the entire world knows is a farce — unelected
and illegal under Venezuelan and international law. We stand with the
Venezuelan government and their legitimately-elected president, Nicolas Maduro.
If you can make it to Washington, DC in the next two days, contact us by
completing this form. If you can’t come to DC, please mobilize on Thursday,
April 25 at the Venezuelan embassy nearest you to say that the embassy is the
property of the Venezuelan government of Nicolas Maduro and that you will
protect it from illegal takeovers if such were attempted. This is important
because if the US is successful at taking the embassy in DC, other countries
may follow suit.
In Washington, DC, people can take action inside or outside of the embassy. A
strong show of public support will prevent the takeover of the embassy. There
are many levels of risk people can take to show their solidarity with the
people of Venezuela. In the last two days, more than 800 people and
organizations have signed on to the Declaration of the Embassy Protective
(Colectivos De La Paz). The Declaration makes explicit the illegal actions of
the Trump administration and their fake puppet government and the legitimacy of
President Maduro and the elected Venezuelan government. Sign on to the
Declaration here to show your solidarity with the Venezuelan people and your
opposition to the US coup.
There has been a series of amazing events at the Venezuelan embassy in
Washington, DC. The art build organized by the Embassy Protection Collective
resulted in the Georgetown embassy being covered with political signs that
describe the US coup and the fraudulent, illegal, puppet government. A banner
with the “Eyes of Chavez” was installed on the embassy along with multiple
other banners.This Wednesday night, the Collective, which was initiated by CODE
PINK and Popular Resistance, will be holding a forum with former CIA officer
John Kiriakou. Kiriakou will discuss “An Inside View of CIA-Led Coups.” The
irony of Kiriakou making this presentation from inside an embassy being
threatened by US take-over should not be lost on anyone. That forum will be
followed by a nonviolent direct action training for people who plan to resist
the next day. And, there will be a light projection displaying images on the
Venezuelan embassy.
The Collective has highlighted that what is occurring in Venezuela is a US
coup. Billboards attached to the building show the “The Regime Change
Checklist,” which describes some of the steps the US has taken to force a coup
in Venezuela. Another is “US Regime Change Results,” which summarizes some of
the many US coups and their devastating impacts. A series of 32 panels along
the front of the embassy describes the chronology of the US regime change
campaign.
The Embassy Protection Collective is in the embassy with the permission of the
Venezuelan government. The Collective is not breaking the law but serving the
people of Venezuela. If law enforcement enters the embassy without permission
of the Maduro government, they will be breaking the law and invading
Venezuela’s sovereign territory. This is a time when all who oppose US
intervention need to show their support by doing all they can to protect the
Venezuelan embassy in Washington, DC.
