Recently, ‘No War’ demonstrations spread across major U.S. cities—from New York to Los Angeles—as young activists hit the streets to protest the Trump administration’s military strike on Caracas, Venezuela’s capital. ✊🌎
In Washington D.C., crowds gathered outside the White House, waving banners and chanting for peace. A 'strike' here refers to a precise military attack aimed at specific targets, rather than a full-scale invasion. Protesters say this tactic risks fuelling more conflict and diverts attention from pressing U.S. issues like healthcare and the soaring cost of living.
Many marchers expressed solidarity with Venezuela and other Latin American countries, arguing the real goal is seizing oil resources. ‘We stand with families already facing economic hardship,’ said one protester in front of the White House.
Meanwhile, across South Asia and Southeast Asia, the hashtag #NoWar is lighting up TikTok and Instagram feeds as young people in India, Indonesia and the Philippines voice support online. For many, these protests echo local movements for social justice, environmental action and transparent governance.
Whether you’re joining a campus rally or scrolling through reels, this wave of activism is a reminder that global issues connect us all—and that collective energy can drive change. 🕊️
