End the Blockade and Murderous Sanctions against Cuba!
Stop U.S. Funding for Counter Revolutionaries
The Cuban Revolution Will Prevail
For 60 years, the U.S. has tried to crush the Cuban revolution in order to reclaim Cuba as a colony. Cuba has withstood U.S. invasions and blockade to do all in its power to end the racism that prevailed under U.S. domination, ensure equality for Black Cubans and LGBTQ Cubans, and provide free healthcare, education, and housing. The heroic Cuban people have defended their sovereignty and their right to a life of common dignity, defying U.S. military and economic assaults, attempted assassinations, economic sabotage, and right-wing terrorist attacks.
Today, the Cuban government called the people to the streets in defense of the revolution, and hundreds of thousands have responded.
We in the U.S. Need to Stand with Cuba
No country, including the U.S., can thrive isolated from trade, unable to purchase what is needed for its people. Cuba, an island only 90 miles in length, has summoned the revolutionary determination of the masses to not only maintain their independence but to put the welfare of the people above the wealth of a few. Despite having its access to fuel, spare parts, medicines, and other essential items blocked by the U.S., Cuba has managed to develop 5 COVID vaccines and send its medical brigades to assist dozens of countries around the world. By putting people’s health over private profit, it has kept COVID deaths to 1/14th the rate of the U.S.
Biden and his mercenaries in the Cuban right wing are exploiting the hardships that U.S. sanctions have produced. Biden hasn’t repealed any of Trump’s 243 brutal sanctions, which were imposed in order to starve the Cuban people to the point of begging the U.S. for mercy.
The U.S. wants total capitalist control of the island, which means destroying every social program won by the Cuban revolution. If the U.S. were to succeed in recolonizing Cuba, every last program for Cuba’s workers, children, and seniors would be wiped out. The Cuban international medical brigades would be dismantled, and apartheid against Black Cubans would be reinstated as it existed before the revolution.
Stand with Cuba, demand an immediate end to the blockade, sanctions, and U.S. funding of right-wing mercenaries in Cuba, Haiti, and Colombia.
