As part of International Day of Solidarity with Venezuela, a protest will take place at 1 Gateway Center in Newark, outside the Newark Senate offices of Bob Menendez and Cory Booker. The offices are diagonally across from Newark's Penn Station.

The rally will also serve as a send off rally for some of the participants who will be traveling to NYC to participate in the March on Wall Street.

The rally will include display of banners, signs, speeches and chants.

This date is also significant because the US is planning to create a military provocation with Venezuela from Colombia under the guise of trying to force "humaniatarian supplies" into territorial Venezuela without cooperation from the government of Venezuela.

The US has threatened the military and the families of the military of Venezuela - - an ominous sign that US is intending to invade Venezuela.
