Pro-Palestine Groups Plan Mass "National Day of Action" in Support of Venezuela

The coalition, including organizations under congressional investigation, to mobilize demonstrations on Dec. 6 across 40 states as Trump administration escalates pressure on Maduro

A coalition of pro-Palestine organizations is mobilizing demonstrations in more than 40 states this Saturday, December 6, to protest potential U.S. military action against Venezuela, marking an escalation of the solidarity movement between pro-Palestine activists and the Maduro government. The flagship protest is set for noon at the White House in Washington, D.C., with other demonstrations planned at federal buildings, state capitols, and public squares nationwide.

Initial endorsers of the “National Day of Action” include The People’s Forum, CODEPINK, Palestinian Youth Movement, Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), and the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) — the political organization of New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.

Several of these groups are under congressional scrutiny. The House Ways and Means Committee is investigating The People’s Forum over alleged ties to entities linked to the Chinese Communist Party, while CODEPINK faces similar investigations from multiple congressional committees, including the House Oversight Committee and the House Committee on Natural Resources.

The Party for Socialism and Liberation has drawn particular controversy following the May 2025 shooting deaths of two Israeli embassy staffers outside Washington’s Capital Jewish Museum. The shooter, Elias Rodriguez, had documented history with PSL.

The protests come as the Trump administration has deployed approximately 15,000 troops and naval assets around Venezuela. President Trump recently stated that land strikes would begin “very soon” and called for Venezuelan airspace to be “closed.”

As Jewish Onliner previously noted, pro-Palestine organizers frame Venezuela through the same anti-imperialist lens applied to Palestinian solidarity, arguing both represent “resistance” to American hegemony. However, rally materials make no mention of Venezuela’s humanitarian crisis, which has displaced nearly 8 million people, or the Maduro government’s documented human rights abuses, arbitrary detention, and press suppression.

Saturday’s demonstrations will test whether the pro-Palestine movement’s organizational infrastructure can successfully mobilize around a second cause — and whether other far-left groups outside the pro-Palestine ecosystem will join rallies organized by groups under congressional investigation.
