Cuba and Venezuela are beacons for progressive movements across Latin America and the world, putting peoples’ needs before profit and providing inspiration through exemplary social achievements. However both are under threat from US intervention. In Venezuela the US has introduced sanctions and termed the country a threat to US national security. In Cuba, despite reestablishment of diplomatic relations, the blockade remains in place and regime change activities are still being funded by the US government. Join us to hear the latest news from both countries and why your solidarity is important.
