SACP to hold anti-imperialist solidarity picket at the US Consulate in Johannesburg today Saturday 30 August 2025 from 10h00-13h00.
Saturday 30 August 2025: The South African Communist Party (SACP) will convene a special solidarity picket outside the United States Consulate in Johannesburg, Sandton, today Saturday 30 August 2025 from 10h00-13h00.
The protest action is part of the SACP’s ongoing programme of international solidarity and resistance against imperialist aggression. The SACP stands with the people of Venezuela, Syria, Cuba, Iran, DPRK, Palestine, and all nations resisting imperialist domination.
The SACP calls on the US government to:
· End its sanctions against Iran;
· Lift its illegal blockade of Cuba;
· Immediately end its military provocation against Venezuela;
· Cease arming apartheid Israel, whose weapons are killing the people of Palestine in Gaza.
The people of Venezuela, Syria, Palestine, Iran, Cuba and other countries deserve to freely enjoy their rights to sovereignty, self-determination and peace without any external aggression. Their struggles are our struggles, and we shall stand with them until liberation is attained.
The SACP Central Committee members will be present at the picket and return to the ongoing three-day Central Committee meeting thereafter.
Details of the picket are as follows:
Date: Saturday 30 August 2025
Time: 10h00 – 13h00
Venue: United States Consulate, 1 Sandton Drive, Johannesburg
The SACP invites the media to cover the picket.
The SACP condemns US imperialist military provocations against Venezuela, its aggression against Iran, its arming of apartheid Israel, and its illegal blockade of Cuba, Iran, Russia and others.
We call on all progressive forces, allies and justice loving people to join the picket.
