Hundreds of demonstrators flooded New York City's Times Square yesterday (January 3, 2026) to condemn recent U.S. military strikes in Venezuela, waving flags and signs with slogans like "Hands Off Venezuela" and "Stop Bombing Our Sovereignty." The protest, part of a nationwide "No War on Venezuela" movement, highlighted growing public dissent over Washington's escalation of force.
Organizers called the action a "stand for peace" amid fears of prolonged conflict, with chants criticizing U.S. intervention as geopolitically motivated. Many participants emphasized the need for diplomatic solutions, urging Congress to halt unauthorized military operations. 📢
The rally reflects rising global scrutiny of foreign policy decisions in 2026, particularly among young activists advocating for anti-war coalitions. Similar protests are expected to spread across major U.S. cities this week.
