Holding signs and waving flags, ralliers protested against lawless President Trump and his war for oil in Venezuela -- initiated without Congressional advice or consent and without a coherent reason -- with the kidnapping of a foreign leader in clear violation of international law, and his declaration that the United States will "run" Venezuela.

Inspiring music was performed by Sharleen Leahey.
