The People’s Organization For Progress will have a press conference to announce opposition to U.S. bombing and war with Venezuela tomorrow, Tuesday, December 30, 2025, 11:00amin front of the Rodino Federal Building, 970 Broad Street in Newark, New Jersey.
“We are having this press conference to publicly state our absolute opposition to war with Venezuela, and to demand that the Trump administration and the U.S. military stop their attacks and lift the blockade against Venezuela,” Lawrence Hamm, Chairman, People’s Organization For Progress stated.
“It is clear to us from both his actions and rhetoric that President Trump is at war with Venezuela. This is an illegal war and it must stop,” Hamm said.
“The constitution clearly states that only Congress can declare war. There has not been a declaration of war by Congress against Venezuela,” he said.
“We call upon Congress to take whatever steps are necessary to prevent the President from taking us down the road to war, regional conflagration and possible destabilization of the southern hemisphere,” he said.
“No justifiable reason has been given thus far to merit the United States
going to war with that country. The government of Venezuela has not attacked nor declared war on the United States,” he said.
“In fact, it is the U.S. that is bullying Venezuela. It is our country that is the aggressor,” he said.
“It is the U.S. military under the direction of President Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth that has closed off Venezuelan airspace, bombed boats in the Caribbean carrying Venezuelan civilians, seized a Venezuelan tanker with two million barrels of oil, and announced the possibility of a land invasion,” he said.
He went on to say the bombing of the boats and killing of civilians are violations of domestic and international law, and possibly a violation of the laws of war.
Trump and Hegseth have claimed the U.S. is at war with Venezuela to stop the flow of illegal drugs into this country.
“Drug interdiction is not a mission of the U.S. military. That is the work of U.S. law enforcement and the Coast Guard. In addition, no evidence has been produced to prove that the boats bombed by the military were carrying drugs,” he said.
“In addition, our country has placed extensive sanctions on Venezuela’s oil, financial, and government sectors that are hurting the economy and people there,” he said.
“Our military attacks and economic blockade are wrong. It is imperialist aggression plain and simple,” Hamm, a former U.S. Senate candidate, stated.
“Trump’s efforts to provoke war with Venezuela must be stopped. Polls show that the majority of Americans do not want a U.S. war with Venezuela. They don’t want U.S. soldiers dying in Venezuela for oil or regime change,” he said.
