Dear friend,
Donald Trump is plotting a “takeover” of Cuba.
Washington’s lethal siege has already brought life on the island to a standstill. Millions have been plunged into darkness amidst rolling blackouts. Public transportation cannot operate without fuel. Shelves are empty of food.
In 1962, the US State Department designed the Cuban embargo to “bring about hunger, desperation and overthrow of government.” Today, the Trump administration’s collective punishment channels the sinister logic of its predecessors.
That is why we are preparing the Nuestra América Convoy to Cuba, mobilising by air, land, and sea in solidarity with the Cuban people.
On Saturday, the 21 March, as our Convoy arrives in Havana, we will celebrate an International Day of Solidarity with Cuba — and call on you to join us
Wherever you may be in the world, we invite you to get involved with this global day of action, mobilising with your friends, colleagues, and comrades at your local US embassy to make your voice heard.
Together, we will demand an end to Washington’s illegal siege and stand up for the cause of Cuban self-determination.
Join your local Cuba solidarity group. Organise an embassy demonstration. Protest Trump’s deadly blockade
Over more than 60 years, Cuba’s revolutionary internationalism has helped to liberate millions from colonial rule, saved countless lives from the scourge of disease and taught entire generations to read and write.
This unwavering commitment to the cause of humanity has earned the island the eternal hostility of its northern neighbour. According to the UN, the 60-year US embargo has now cost Cuba at least $130 billion in damages.
The Trump administration’s latest escalation has already compromised entire intensive care units and emergency rooms.
On 21 March, join us to resist Washington’s efforts to recolonise the Western hemisphere by taking action outside your local US embassy.
Our message is clear: ¡Cuba sí, bloqueo no!
In solidarity,
The Nuestra América Convoy
