Yesterday, hundreds of peaceful protesters turned Times Square into a sea of Venezuelan flags 🇻🇪 and chants for peace. On Saturday, Jan. 3, New Yorkers and activists from across the U.S. gathered to denounce Washington's recent military strikes and the forcible seizure of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
Many participants held handmade signs reading "Hands off Venezuela," "Stop bombing Venezuela," and "U.S. out of the Caribbean," while the crowd echoed with chants like "No War on Venezuela!" ✊ The mood was upbeat yet determined, with families, students, and community groups standing shoulder to shoulder.
Organizers described the rally as part of a growing national movement rejecting military escalation without congressional approval. "We're here to demand peace and respect for Venezuela's sovereignty," said one young activist, her voice rising above the crowd.
This protest in the heart of New York City follows similar No War on Venezuela events planned across the country. From Los Angeles to Miami, activists are uniting under a simple message: end intervention and uphold democratic principles.
As the sun set over the bright billboards of Times Square, the chants continued, a powerful reminder that voices can't be silenced. For a generation inspired by global justice movements, this rally was more than a protest—it was a call to action. 🌎✨
