VENEZUELA - Tell The State Department To Protect The Embassies

Take action to stop the U.S.-led coup in Venezuela and put a protecting power agreement in place.

The Embassy Protection Collective held the Venezuelan Embassy in Washington, DC for 37 days with the goal of preventing the U.S. government from installing a coup leader in the Embassy before the U.S. and Venezuela could reach a mutual agreement to allow third countries to protect their embassies. Mutual protecting power agreements would provide a peaceful path for the U.S. and Venezuela to safeguard their respective embassies until diplomatic relations are restored.

The good news is that the two countries are very close to achieving that goal. The governments of Venezuela and Turkey have agreed to sign a Protecting Power Agreement that would allow the Venezuelan Embassy in Washington DC to be under the charge of the Turkish government. The United States has reached an agreement with Switzerland to protect the US Embassy in Caracas. To be operative these agreements must be approved by the US State Department and the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry. 

Send an email to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo urging the State Department to approve the Protecting Power Agreement for the Venezuelan Embassy.
