George W. Bush: Hands Off Venezuela!
We, as trade unionists, are making a direct appeal to our brothers and sisters in the United States on behalf of the people of Venezuela.
The recent belligerent statements and attacks on President Chavez coming from the representatives of the Bush Administration pose a direct threat to the working people of Venezuela. Such aggressive noises from the White House are the same kind of language that was used to prepare the ground for US intervention in Vietnam, Cuba, Chile, Iraq and elsewhere.
We therefore appeal to our friends in the American trade union movement to join with us in condemning these provocations and to place the maximum pressure on the Bush Administration to desist from these attacks.
We demand the right of the Venezuelan people to self-determination and no to imperialist interference.
(See also the letter from American workers and trade unionists to the U.S. government.)
See the signatures.
The Hands Off Venezuela Campaign, which is a broad-based campaign, was established to generate awareness about Venezuela within the labour and trade union movement and young people internationally
