The next edition of Peace & Freedom Party’s co-sponsored Suds, Snacks & Socialism monthly forum series at the Starry Plough Pub in Berkeley (3101 Shattuck Avenue; click here for map) will be held on Saturday, January 3, 2026, 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. Doors open at 1:30 p.m. All are welcome to discuss the topic: What's the Deal with Venezuela?

U.S. government officials have already admitted that CIA forces and other "clandestine" warfare groups have been operating within Venezuela, and the movement of large naval forces to the area signal an intent to invade.
The "clandestine" acts of war already constitute aggression, illegal under international law. The blowing up of boats, with the clearly false excuse that they are somehow running drugs to the USA, is a crime. Further military action will be war crimes.
Our speakers will address the question: Why is the U.S. Government, and particularly the current Trump regime, attacking Venezuela, and what can we do about it?
