U.S. out of Venezuela – ICE out of our communities!

The United Left Platform (ULP) is hosting a meeting to help build the movements in opposition to U.S. imperialism  and in solidarity with everyone struggling against Trump’s wars abroad and those here in the U.S. 

The ULP is a coalition of revolutionary socialist organizations in the U.S., completely and unequivocally condemns the Trump administration’s illegal and unwarranted military attack on Venezuela and kidnapping of President Nicholás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, the former President of Venezuela’s National Assembly. 

The ULP has equally expressed its absolute solidarity with the heroic resistance of people in Minnesota to the U.S. state’s war against its citizens and non-citizens alike and has called on people everywhere to join in the resistance wherever they are and however they can.

Please join us for the discussions and debate and to help us build these movements.
