SanDiego350 strongly opposes the U.S. military taking control of Venezuela’s vast oil reserves and getting dragged into another war for oil. These actions threaten our climate, the global economy, and democratic self-governance, sacrificing peace, health, and safety to fossil fuel industry profits.
Venezuelan oil will not lower domestic energy and gas costs. To the contrary, extracting it will require substantial investment in infrastructure and exploration – which Trump has floated having U.S. taxpayers pay for, hitting American families hard in the pocketbook.
This isn’t only about Venezuela, this is about America’s future as a democracy.
We call on San Diego’s US Representatives and California Senators to require congressional authorization for military operations in Venezuela and stop the Trump administration’s reckless actions. See TOOLKIT to take action.
