The Venezuelan people have defeated, through mass mobilizations by workers and peasants, three attempts to overthrow the government of Hugo Chavez. They succeeded because of the greater space, since Chávez came to the presidency, to fight for land, jobs, and democratic rights. Yet, the intensifying campaign of the US government and the mainstream media to demonize the government of Venezuela as a "destabilizing force in Latin America", "authoritarian populism", and all sorts of name calling is a prelude to a future attempt for US intervention and "regime change" in Venezuela.

Defenders of Venezuelan sovereignty are calling on all supporters of basic democratic rights to join us in building an International Venezuelan Solidarity Conference, as we say “No” to US intervention in Venezuela and “Yes” for all sovereign nations to be able to decide their own future.
