We call on our allied organizations to organize solidarity actions from educational discussions and cultural gatherings to street marches, to condemn US aggression, defend Venezuela’s national sovereignty, and strengthen international unity against imperialist war.
January 4, 2026 at 6:06 PM
We call on peace-loving citizens, progressive forces, people’s organizations, and all anti-imperialist movements to intensify solidarity with the Venezuelan people and to oppose US militarism wherever it strikes.
January 4, 2026 at 6:06 PM
...US capacity to wage wars of aggression and drags the Philippines deeper into imperialist conflict. Genuine national sovereignty and lasting peace are impossible while foreign military forces operate freely in our country.
January 4, 2026 at 6:06 PM
The lesson is clear: all US military bases and facilities must be immediately removed from the Philippines. The presence of US troops, facilities, and military agreements such as the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA) only strengthens...

We condemn the Marcos Jr. government for recklessly and treasonously promoting the US geopolitical agenda at the expense of our sovereignty and the security of our people.

The same imperialist power that bombs Caracas maintains military forces, rotational troops, and access to bases on Philippine soil. This reality endangers our own people and entangles the country in wars that serve only US interests.

This latest act of US aggression is also a stark reminder to the Filipino people. The United States has a long and bloody record as a war criminal—from Vietnam and Iraq to Afghanistan, Palestine, and now Venezuela.
January 4, 2026 at 6:06 PM
No foreign power has the right to impose regime change through bombs, blockades, or threats of invasion. The resistance of workers, peasants, youth, women, educators, and communities is the true source of Venezuela’s strength.
January 4, 2026 at 6:06 PM
BAYAN expresses full solidarity with the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and its people as they defend their sovereignty and dignity. The Bolivarian process, with all its challenges, belongs to the Venezuelan masses alone.
January 4, 2026 at 6:06 PM
Venezuela is under attack precisely because it asserts national control over its oil and natural wealth and insists on an independent path free from imperialist domination.
January 4, 2026 at 6:02 PM
...Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East: control over strategic resources and the suppression of independent, anti-imperialist projects.
January 4, 2026 at 6:02 PM
The US aggression against Venezuela is not about peace, democracy, or combating crime. It is driven by the same motive that has fueled countless wars across...
January 4, 2026 at 6:02 PM
From sanctions and economic sabotage to direct military assault, the United States employs every means available to crush governments and peoples who refuse to submit to its political and economic dictates.
January 4, 2026 at 6:02 PM
What is happening in Venezuela today once again exposes the true nature of US imperialism as a principal source of war, instability, and repression in the world.
January 4, 2026 at 6:02 PM
...prohibition on the use of force against sovereign states, principles of head-of-state immunity under customary international law, and Venezuela's territorial sovereignty.
January 4, 2026 at 6:00 PM
The US government's kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro constitutes a brazen act of state-sponsored abduction and military aggression, violating the UN Charter's...
January 4, 2026 at 6:00 PM
These bombings are a clear act of imperialist aggression and a grave violation of Venezuela’s sovereignty and the right of its people to determine their own future.
January 4, 2026 at 6:00 PM
Reports indicate that the attacks hit military installations and nearby civilian communities, triggering power and communications disruptions and spreading fear among the population.
January 4, 2026 at 6:00 PM
On January 3, the United States launched military strikes against Venezuela, targeting sites in and around Caracas and key coastal areas.
January 4, 2026 at 6:00 PM
BAYAN calls on the Filipino people to reject the 2026 General Appropriations Act, to expose the lies behind the “people-centered” rhetoric, and to intensify collective action against corruption, political dynasties, and authoritarian rule.#
