On April 19 supporters of Rock Around the Blockade and the 1 Cent 4 Cuba (1C4Cuba) campaign held vibrant demonstrations across the country in support of the Cuban revolution and against British banks' complicity with the US blockade of Cuba. Protestors held stalls and speakouts outside banks, or brought the example of Cuba to events organised around other political issues. British banks extraterritorially apply the US blockade of Cuba in this country by blocking transactions headed for Cuba or even just mentioning Cuba in the reference. To build up a case against the banks and to expose their complicity in the genocidal US blockade, 1C4Cuba has declared a week of action from April 19-25. To find out how you can take part in the week of action or to otherwise contact the campaign, visit 1c4cuba.eu!
