Chair: Diana Holland

2022 will mark 60 years of the inhumane US blockade of Cuba. Despite Biden’s campaign promises to reverse the additional 243 sanctions imposed by Trump, the blockade remains as savage as ever.

Shortages in food and medicines have been exacerbated by COVID-19 – opportunistically used
by the US government to inflict more suffering on the Cuban people. The island is confronting a
humanitarian crisis which those seeking intervention are trying to exploit.

Come to this fringe meeting to hear about the economic and political warfare against Cuba and the urgent case for aid, solidarity and an international campaign against US intervention.

If you are a delegate to Labour Party Conference in September please come to our fringe meeting and share details with other delegates.
