Five months since the KIDNAPPING of the PRESIDENT OF VENEZUELA, NICOLÁS MADURO AND THE FIRST COMBATANT, CILIA FLORES.

“It has been 5 months since the US bombed Venezuela and illegally abducted President Nicolás Maduro and First Combatant Cilia Flores.

We continue to take to the streets against u.s. imperialist aggression and demand the release of our political prisoners of war.

Free President Nicolás Maduro
Free First Combatant Cilia Flores
Hands off Venezuela
Free Alex Saab!” said Workers World Party before the protest.

International Day of Action in Solidarity with Cuba.

Join us this Wednesday, June 3rd as we rally outside of the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn to continue to demand the immediate release of democratically elected President Nicolas Maduro and First Combatant Cilia Flores of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.

June 3rd, 2026 not only marks the five month anniversary of their abduction by the United States and the bombing campaign in Caracas, which took the lives of Venezuelans and Cubans alike, but it is also the International Day of Action in Solidarity with Cuba. Cities and countries around the world will hold demonstrations to show their solidarity with Cuba in this critical moment of heightened imperialist aggression, as the US threatens a military offensive against Cuba with the stated goal of regime change.

We denounce in the strongest terms this escalation of imperialist violence and, as people of conscience in the belly of the beast, we demand NO WAR ON CUBA!

From Delaney Hall, to Havana, to Caracas, to Bamako, to Tehran, our struggle is one against the US imperialist enemy. We hope to see you in the streets,” said Workers World Party before the protest.
