Cuban Medicine

FROM OUR ❤ TO CUBA

Video

Cuba’s exemplary health service, free to all its citizens and many others through its international missions, now can’t access many medicines and supplies essential for the care, at times life saving, that its people need.

Cubans with heart conditions are dying or suffering serious symptoms because there are no heart pacemakers to implant. The most seriously ill cannot leave the hospital without a pacemaker.

Let’s raise $150,000 to send 300 heart pacemakers to Cuba. $500 will buy a heart pacemaker. Cuban surgeons will then insert it at no cost to the patient.

Terrorism against Cuba

TAKE CUBA OFF THE SSOT LIST

Video

Cuba has endured 64 years of a U.S. economic blockade. This intensified when President Trump unjustifiably put Cuba on a list of so-called State Sponsors of Terrorism (SSOT). President Biden has continued that listing. Companies worldwide that want to sell medicines or food to Cuba often can’t because their own bank refuses to accept Cuba’s payment under threat of enormous fines from the U.S. treasury for dealing with “terrorists.”

Tell Biden that he must, with a stroke of his pen, remove Cuba from this arbitrary list.

  • Make your opinions known to your Congressional representatives – by phone, email or best of all in person.
  • Get a resolution passed and sent to Biden, by your union branch, labor council or city council.

Cuban Women of the African Diaspora: Inspirations for Change

A series of films by Juanamaria Cordones-Cook, presenting some of the most distinguished Cuban women of the African Diaspora.  Every Sunday evening in October at 8 pm Eastern.

Poets Nancy Morejón and Georgina Herrera, author and  researcher Gisela Arandia,  graphic artist Belkys Ayón and playwright and director Fátima Patterson, — all  are conscious explorers of the experience of  Afro-descendiente women of Cuba.

We are providing a space for  Cuban women of the African diaspora to speak for themselves.  Because of the US blockade of Cuba, which extends to platforms like Zoom, we are unable to have our Cuban sisters participate directly in meetings and conferences.  Through these films, made by JuanaMaria Cordones-Cook, a scholar of the amazing surge of Afro-Cuban creativity made possible by the Cuban Revolution, we can share their truths and their creativity with US audiences.

Defend Cuba & Venezuela Rally Jan 26, 2018

Video

Rally against attempted US coup in Venezuela and ongoing efforts by US to end socialism in Cuba, held across the street from the Cuban Mission to the UN, hosted by the International Action Center and Workers World Party and led by Ike Nahem. Lots of repetitive chanting until 9:14 when several speakers are each given opportunity to express their views against US imperialism in other countries as well as Venezuela and Cuba. camera, edit by Joe Friendly
