¡Cuba Sí, Bloqueo No! (a WIRN webinar)

Our next War Industry Resisters Network  webinar on Wednesday, April 22, 8 pm ET will be about Cuba, featuring Medea Benjamin and Danny Valdes. Please see below for information. You can register here:

The US has been sanctioning the people of Cuba for well over 60 years now. It has been an illegal, unwarranted, and immoral act of war and has crippled the Cuban economy with deadly results. Now, with the fuel blockade, conditions have worsened considerably, with severe shortages in fuel, food, medicines, and electricity.

Recently, CODEPINK’s Nuestra América Convoy delegation of 170 people delivered 6,300 pounds of urgently needed medicines and medical supplies, including neonatal equipment, analgesics, catheters, and other critical hospital materials. The supplies, valued at $433,000, were collected by Global Health Partners.

This webinar will address the nature of the US war on Cuba and the humanitarian efforts now happening on behalf of the Cuban people. It will be a call to action to stand with and speak out for our brothers and sisters in this beautiful neighboring nation. The presenters were organizers and participants for the recent delegation.

Presenters:

Medea Benjamin is a co-founder of CODEPINK and a prominent peace activist, author, and organizer focused on anti-war and human rights advocacy.

Danny Valdes is a Cuban American organizer with Cuban Americans for Cuba and DSA leading national advocacy efforts to end the U.S. blockade and build solidarity.
