This Saturday, a large coalition of organizations and individuals will declare "No coup! No war! No sanctions!" and oppose the Trump administration's efforts to overthrow the government of Nicolás Maduro and replace him with Juan Guaidó, a U.S.-trained operative largely unknown to the Venezuelan people before declaring himself the president, with the backing of the Trump Administration.

This assault on Venezuelan sovereignty must not stand, and the ANSWER Coalition and allied organizations won't sit idly by as the Trump administration interferes with another government.
