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.
(Make your own call to action with our design templates here.)
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. Organize 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!

And the former Venezuelan president (who was apparently indicted by both the Democratic Biden administration and Dictator Trump’s GOP administration) still is imprisoned inside a NYC whose mayor is a socialist/DSA member–despite the imprisoned former Venezuelan president having historically been a strong supporter of the Cuban Revolution? As a November 2016 Granma newspaper article historically noted: “The emotional Venezuelan President shouted the name Fidel, while the hundreds of thousands gathered in the Plaza de la Revolución joined him in chorus, chanting: `Fidel, Fidel, qué tiene Fidel que los imperialistas no pueden con él’ (Fidel, Fidel! What is it that he has, that the imperialists can’t defeat him?).
“Maduro stressed that they had been unable to defeat Fidel and will never be able to defeat the people of Cuba, their dreams, hopes, and the Great Homeland.”
