Cuba is under siege. The Trump administration has cut off oil supplies – causing blackouts and severe shortages in health and essential services. This is economic warfare, and it is costing lives.

Not content with causing a humanitarian crisis, the US president is now threatening military intervention. Come this meeting to find out the latest news from the island, and the crucial role trade unions have in lobbying MPs and delivering life-saving medical aid to stand in solidarity with the Cuban people.

Please come to the meeting and share with colleagues at conference.
