Hundreds of demonstrators gathered in New York City's Times Square on January 3, 2026, to protest recent U.S. military strikes in Venezuela. The rally, part of a nationwide “No War on Venezuela” movement, highlighted growing public opposition to Washington’s interventionist policies following the forcible seizure of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
Protesters waved Venezuelan flags and held signs with slogans such as “Hands Off Venezuela” and “U.S. Out of the Caribbean,” while chanting calls for peace and sovereignty. Organizers criticized the military escalation as geopolitically motivated and emphasized the lack of congressional approval for the actions.
The demonstration reflects broader concerns over U.S. foreign policy in Latin America, with participants urging diplomatic solutions over armed intervention. Similar rallies have been reported in major U.S. cities this week, signaling a resurgence of anti-war activism amid escalating tensions.
