Why is Venezuela Demonized?
Thousands of people are in Washington DC to stop the US invasion of Venezuela to privatize and steal their oil, the largest oil fields in the world. The sanctions and pending military attack are proudly supported by Republican Trump and Democrat Nancy Pelosi. We, the workers of the world, are proud that Americans stood up and said NO TO WAR!
Gloria LaRiva, a San Francisco resident and Peace & Freedom Party candidate for president in 2016, stood before the microphone chanting:
Why is Venezuela Demonized?
Because Its Oil is Nationalized!
And with that oil money, it provides publicly funded housing for the workingclass. See Gloria's video at:

They have marched to the Trump Hotel and the White House.
While we wait for the news reports, we can follow the march on Twitter with glorious photos. See
