With a firm conviction that one must oppose all forms of oppression;

Witnessing  that the imperialist hegemonic structure has robbed the vast majority of our human community of the opportunity to live in peace and justice;

With a shared belief that it is only through our collective  strength and action that we can put a stop to the horrors perpetrated by  US-led  imperialist wars of aggression, such as the horrific genocide carried out by the Israeli fascist regime in Gaza; 

Given the urgent necessity to expand  global solidarity with resistance movements worldwide;

We, the undersigned, hereby declare our objective to amplify the international campaign aimed at uniting the broadest forces to organize different forms of civic actions, to further strengthen the “Global Resistance for Peace and Justice.”

Moreover, we affirm that our efforts at this stage will primarily concentrate on expressing solidarity with Palestine.

In alignment with this goal, a petition in solidarity with Palestine is being circulated  and will be presented to the participants at the Anti-fascist World Festival in Caracas, to be held on 9-11 January 2025. The petition shall also be available for the support of all other freedom-lovers and justice-seeking people throughout the world. ###

If you agree with the aforementioned  objectives, you and/or organization may sign on this statement as a founding member of "Global Resistance for Peace & Justice.”
