cuba venezuela meeting final draft 2

Cuba has survived the longest and most comprehensive set of sanctions imposed in modern history through the 61-year US blockade.

Venezeula has been subject to US sanctions since 2015, and they have caused the deaths of tens of thousands of Venezuelans.

Join us to hear from diplomats, academics and activists about the devastating impact of these sanctions and to discuss the importance of international solidarity in opposing them. The event will include audio-visual materials and music.

cuban flag event CUBA 2

Rock Around The Blockade, a campaign in solidarity with Cuba and Latin America, invites you to an international demonstration against the US blockade of Cuba and all imperialist sanctions. We will unfurl a gigantic Cuban flag to demand an end to punishing US sanctions on the island that have been imposed for 61 years; the longest and most comprehensive set of sanctions imposed in modern history. The US blockade affects Cuba's trade and interaction with the world, not just the United States.

The United States uses its control over the international financial system to turn sanctions into a weapon of war targeting more than 40 countries. These sanctions block access to food, medicine, trade, technology, and finances, obstructing development and impoverishing their populations. Many of these sanctions are unilateral but their impact is extraterritorial, obstructing exchange with other countries, often third countries are complicit or unwilling to challenge US regulations for fear of fines and retribution.

We invite you to bring you own flags and banners to join us in denouncing sanctions against Cuba and the rest of the world.

gold protest 17th

On the 10th anniversary of the death of Commandante Hugo Chavez - join us at the Bank of England to demand the return of 31 tonnes of Venezuela's gold. Despite the end of the sham 'interim presidency' of Juan Guaido, Britain refuses to recognise the elected government of Venezuela and intends to give the gold to the opposition controlled '2015 National Assembly' whose mandate expired in 2021! This is theft!

Latin America 2021: Resistance and Revolution
For several years, the Left appeared in retreat across Latin America: the ‘Pink Tide’ fell away, and a series of progressive governments were replaced with right-wing elites, backed by the US establishment. But 2020 saw new victories for popular forces: in Bolivia, Chile, Peru and in Venezuela.

Our battle is not only a battle for survival, to survive for the sake of surviving, no; it is a battle to participate in the fight for a better world, to participate in that fight together with the world.’ Fidel Castro, 24 August 1998.
 
Four days before the US presidential elections, we discuss the difficulties facing the Cuban people, with the global Covid-19 pandemic and the tightening of the US blockade, and how the Revolution continues to resist. In 2019 alone, the Trump administration introduced 86 new sanctions against Cuba; to starve the country of revenue, scare off foreign partners, create scarcity, and obstruct oil shipments from Venezuela. The US blockade cost Cuba $4 billion last year. The Trump administration has increased attacks on Cuba to secure victory in the key-state of Florida.
