Court hearing of president Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores
March 26, 2026. 8 AM.
500 Pearl Street.
Manhattan, New York City.
“In January, the U.S. bombed and invaded Venezuela, kidnapping President Nicolás Maduro and First Combatant Cilia Flores. The U.S. continues to hold President Nicolás Maduro in solitary confinement at MDC Brooklyn.
This is not just about Venezuela — it’s about a broader pattern of U.S. imperialist t-rr-ism across the Global South. From Venezuela to Iran to Cuba to Palestine, the people must rise up against the U.S. imperialist d-ath machine.
Venezuela and Iran have both defended their sovereignty, using national resources for social programs and refusing U.S. domination — and for that, they are targeted.
This moment marks a new phase: open, lawless t-rr-rism carried out with full backing by Western institutions.
FREE NICOLAS MADURO!
FREE CILIA FLORES!
FREE THEM ALL!” said Workers World Party, Brooklyn Against War, PALAVER, Campaign to Free Nicolas Maduro and Cilia Flores, Venceremos Brigade and CUNY for Palestine on Instagram March 20, 2026.
“This Thursday we are mobilizing for court support in SOLIDARITY with the Venezuelan people and the Bolivarian Revolution. We are committed to building an anti-imperialist resistance in NYC against the U.S. war machine domestically and globally. We call on others within the NYC community to attend and defend the sovereignty of Venezuela and Cuba, and to oppose the murderous actions of the United States in Our Americas, in Africa, in Palestine and Iran, and imperialist militarism in general. We say NO to economic warfare, political subversion, and the continued militarization of Our Americas by the United States!” said Workers World Party, Diaspora Pa’lante Collective NYC.NJ and Campaign to Free Nicolas Maduro and Cilia Flores on Instagram on March 24, 2026.
The next court hearing of president Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores, originally scheduled for March 17, 2026, was postponed until March 26, 2026, following a request from the US Justice Department.
Next protest in support of Maduro and Flores will be on March 26, 2026 in Manhattan.

We will be joining countless organizations for President Maduro and First Combatant Cilia Flores hearing.
Please keep a lookout for upcoming plans! And if the court changes the date, that will not deter us!”says Brooklyn Against War on Instagram.
