🇨🇺 Solidarity is not a crime, the inhumane U.S. blockade on Cuba is. The blockade is a silent genocide, a decades-long war designed by the U.S. government. It is collective punishment aimed at inflicting maximum damage on the island, its people, and their everyday lives. Last month, during UN General Assembly week, hundreds of peace activists, progressive leaders, and artists filled the Schomburg Center in Harlem for Voices for Peace: Cuba Is Not A Threat. We stood with Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez and a powerful lineup of speakers — including Rosemari Mealy (former Black Panther Party member), Rachel Domond (ANSWER Coalition), Dailyn Briñas (Cubans4Cuba), and NYC Council Member Alexa Avilés — to demand an end to the U.S. blockade and its unending threats against Cuban sovereignty. Together, we declared: the blockade must end. Let Cuba live. Solidarity is not a crime the blockade is!
