As worldwide protests, including many across the UK, demand ‘hands-off Venezuela’, that the Venezuelan people govern themselves, the ISL fully support the demands of the protests and further demands the British government condemn the invasion as well as the capture of president Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores.

The only way to beat U.S. imperialism in Venezuela today is to throw the Chavista dictatorship out with it

The immigrant rights movement today must have labor’s full participation in opposition to the Trump regime’s terror. The fact that a Teamster local like 705 is standing up for immigrant workers is important given that Sean O’Brien, president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, has consistently made disparaging comments about immigrants on his podcast.

The fates of workers, students, and oppressed people in Venezuela and in the United States are intimately connected. Just as the U.S. invaded Venezuela for the benefit of Big Oil and the banks, those same ruling-class forces are decimating the gains of the civil rights, labor, and other social movements in this country.

The U.S. kidnapping of Maduro is an attack on all of Latin America, and a threat to the working class everywhere. We must mobilize and stand up against imperialism

The administration is using every pretext to amplify the propaganda against the immigrant population. Listening to the administration and its spokespersons, all immigrants detained and deported are criminals. African immigrants are facing greater legal obstacles in both the U.S. and Europe despite their presence for decades. For Africans seeking refuge in the U.S. and Europe, gaining asylum is nearly impossible.

The US War on Drugs has been the framework for imperialist intervention in Latin America since the Reagan era. Now, Trump doubles down on empty claims of combating the drug trade to retrench US interests and far right forces across the continent.

The US government, led by the far-right Donald Trump, continues to increase its warmongering and interventionist offensive in Latin America in general and against Venezuela in particular. 
On December 16, the U.S. declared a total blockade on oil tankers entering or leaving the country. This comes after issuing warnings about the dangers of flying to […]

AMLO and Sheinbaum's governments have only brought superficial changes to life in Mexico. As hope turns to disappointment, Mexicans face mounting pressures and repression while the big bourgeoisie plays at being the "rabid opposition"

Hernández has been convicted, with evidence, of the crimes that the Trump administration has baselessly accused Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro of committing. But Hernández walked free from jail on Dec. 2, and the U.S. invasion of Venezuela seems poised to begin at any moment. This hypocrisy is obscene, but it's also a consistent pattern of the US-instigated "war on drugs"

Immigrants must stand in solidarity with the struggle for Indigenous liberation as we fight the legacies of imperialism and settler-colonial rule.

While the US is still the most powerful imperialist nation, China's growth into an imperialist rival is of major global relevance.
