The Trump administration has cut off oil supplies to Cuba – 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 to this meeting to find out the latest news from the island, and the crucial role UNISON members can play in delivering life-saving aid to the island and lobbying your MPs to stand in solidarity with the Cuban people.
