The shooting of protesters in Portland, Oregon. The ongoing abductions and violence perpetrated by ICE and the Department of Homeland Security. The illegal kidnapping of a head of state in Venezuela. These atrocities do not exist in a vacuum; they are expressions of the same impulses within the capitalist American state to crush the power of the working class, ensure the most vulnerable among us remain too tired and weak to fight back, and dominate the nations abroad in the pursuit of greater ill-gotten spoils. To this we say NO MORE. Join us at the Forward Statue near the Wisconsin State Capitol for a rally of solidarity. We stand with communities across the country who have been terrorized by the recent violence against immigrant communities and communities of color. We stand with Venezuela and her people as they suffer political crisis through the abduction of their president and the threat of invasion from America in a bid to strip their nation for parts and monopolize their natural resources. This rally will begin at the Forward Statue at the State Street corner of the Wisconsin Capitol Square See more details •
