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.

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

Stop Starving Gaza — KW Emergency Protest at Waterloo Public Square at 6pm on Thursday 24 July 2025

• What: KW Emergency Protest: Stop Starving Gaza Now!
• When: 6:00pm Thursday 24 July 2025

Gaza is being starved to death!

The past few months have pushed our people to the edge — children are dying from hunger and dehydration, families are being wiped out under siege and bombing, and exterminated by a lack of food, water and medical care. This is a murderous genocide, and starvation has become an intentional weapon used by Israel. This inhumanity must be stopped through world protests and actions, we will honour our responsibility to bring this to an end.

JOIN US on Thursday 24 July 2025 at 6:00pm in Waterloo Public Square to demand an immediate lift of the siege! 🇵🇸
