Socialist Cuba is under attack, and is owed our solidarity now more than ever. On 29 January, US President Donald Trump issued an executive order imposing a total oil blockade on Cuba.

The measure is having a deliberately devastating effect on the Cuban people, who are experiencing daily blackouts, and the crippling of public transport, food deliveries, and waste removal, leading to food and fuel shortages and public health hazards. Hardest hit are pregnant women, newborn children, the elderly, and the sick.

This latest act of aggression is an escalation of over 60 years of imperialist blockade in which Britain is complicit. British banks block transactions with Cuba, while media such as the BBC and the Guardian spew imperialist lies about a country that, since its socialist revolution in 1959, has built a society that puts people before profit,  standing resolutely on the side of the international working class and progressive movements everywhere.

Responding to the call for international solidarity, comrades from the Revolutionary Communist Group and Rock around the Blockade are joining the Nuestra América convoy and flotilla transporting donations of equipment and medicines to Cuba, and we are asking for your help.

Travelling by air with solidarity activists from across Europe, we will converge with a flotilla arriving by sea on 21 March and deliver vital supplies for families, schools, and hospitals.

For decades, Cuba has trained thousands of doctors, for free, from impoverished communities around the world; sent its own doctors and disaster relief teams to wherever they are needed on the planet; and provided material support to liberation movements, from Angolan forces fighting apartheid South Africa, to the Palestinian resistance against Zionist genocide. Now Cuba needs our solidarity. It is essential that we act to defend Cuba and its shining example of internationalism.

We cannot deliver the aid without your support. Help sponsor our places on the convoy and fund us to purchase medicines and equipment.
