The coalition urged "mass resistance" against the administration’s actions, telling people to "take to the streets, organize rallies and teach-ins on your university campuses, mobilize in your unions to demonstrate solidarity and shut down the supply chains of imperialism, including resolutions, pickets and protests outside of arms factories and ports that are providing the weapons for this aggression."
It especially urged those outside the U.S. to target "U.S. embassies, U.S. military bases and diplomatic installations around the world."
According to the website of the Open Society Foundation, a philanthropic network founded by Soros and currently led by his son, Alex Soros, the group donated $250,000 to AFGJ in 2020.
The description listed for the donation on the website was "to catalyze Black communities into the global movement for climate justice."
AFGJ has been a staunch critic of the Trump administration. In a Tuesday statement, the group wrote that the "War against Venezuela is against Us All."

Maduro and his wife have since been charged in U.S. federal court with conspiracy to traffic large quantities of cocaine into the country and related crimes, including narco-terrorism and weapons offenses. Both have pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Fox News Digital also reached out to AFGJ and the Open Society Foundation for comment, but did not immediately receive a response.
