Emergency Protest: Hands Off Venezuela! at Waterloo Public Square, 4:30pm on Monday 5 January 2026

• What: Emergency Protest in Waterloo: Hands Off Venezuela! Stop the U.S. war against Venezuela!
• When: 4:30pm-5:30pm on Monday 5 January 2026
• Where: Waterloo Public Square
• Location: 75 King Street South Map
• Online: Peace and Justice Network: https://peaceandjusticenetwork.ca/
• Contact: CWPJN [email protected] to register actions.

Join us to condemn the illegal U.S. airstrikes and abduction of the democratically elected President of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores. Venezuela has the world’s largest oil resources and at the press conference on Saturday, Trump said “We’re taking back the oil in Venezuela… We’re running the country… We’re going to be taking out a lot of wealth from Venezuela.” The attack against Venezuela is another aggressive U.S. war for oil.

Actions are taking place across Canada this week in solidarity with the people of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela against U.S. aggression.

The CWPJN condemns the January 3, 2026 U.S. military attacks against Venezuela, and joins the international call for emergency actions demanding: No War on Venezuela! Repatriate Venezuelan President Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores Now! We also denounce the Canadian government’s shameful support of the U.S.’s illegal ouster of President Maduro.

Read the statement: No War on Venezuela! from the Canada-Wide Peace and Justice Network

Not another U.S. war for oil. (See the CIA stats on Venezuela’s proven oil reserves)
