    CHICAGO – An audience of over 100 workers, union activists, and organizers from more than a dozen unions attended a reception here for representatives of the Cuban Embassy in Washington. The event – sponsored by Building Relations with #Cuban #Labor (BRWCL) – was part of the annual #LaborNotes conference from June 12-14, that brought together 4,700 #union activists and organizers from across the country, and several delegations from other nations. Tanieris Diéguez, deputy head of the Cuban mission to the #UN, spoke of the impact of the U.S. blockade on the lives of the Cuban people. She emphasized that Cuba is a “country of peace” and is open to talk about cooperation with the #US, but only on the basis of respect for #Cuba’s national sovereignty. However, she added, we will “fight to defend our honor” against all acts of #US aggression.

  10. #Video - Italians Thank the Cuban Doctors Working in Calabria

    [from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]

    Cuban #medical workers have served on international cooperation missions in more than 150 countries since the 1960s.

    During Covid, a #Cuban medical brigade helped #Italians in Lombardy, which triggered #Calabria’s president Roberto Occhiuto to reach out to Cuba in 2022 to invite hundreds of #doctors to his region. Calabria is one of the poorest regions in Italy and its #healthcare has suffered greatly from staffing and other issues.

    “Cuba will always be in my heart,” says an elderly Italian man whose life was saved by a Cuban doctor.

    Duration - 22:20

    [from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]

    #US politicians have been waging a war against Cuba’s #medical missions for years. During the second #Trump administration, with #MarcoRubio as Sec. of State, this war has escalated. Since 2025, at least 8 countries have announced they will no longer facilitate #Cuba’s medical missions due to US pressure.

    The US calls Cuba’s medical missions “forced labor,” without providing evidence to back the claim. The #Cuban government calls the #doctors heroes.

    Cuban doctors volunteer to go on international missions, where they are paid many times more than what they make in Cuba. Cuban medical workers have served on international cooperation missions in more than 150 countries since the 1960s, usually working with populations that would otherwise not have access to care.

    In recent days, #Cuban civil society organizations have denounced the devastating impact of the #US government’s economic war on the Cuban people.

    Dr. Dayana Couto Núñez, president of the Cuban Society of #Gynecology and #Obstetrics, says shortages of medicines, medical supplies, technology and fuel are affecting surgeries, ultrasounds, diagnostic tests and maternal care.

    According to Couto, the situation is making it harder to detect congenital malformations early and to care for premature and low-birth-weight babies, who often require specialized medication and high-tech equipment.

    “Neither our women nor our children are to blame,” she said. “They need #medical care, #medicines and quality resources.”

    [a #video about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]

    BotB recently held a screening of two documentaries on Cuban #medical missions. One is focused on #Cuban #doctors deployed to #Calabria, #Italy, and another follows a brigade of #African students from #ELAM (Cuba's #LatinAmerican School of #Medicine), who traveled to #GuineaBissau to provide medical care based on the training they received on the island.

    Some of the ELAM students attended the screening and were given a standing ovation.

    One audience member said: "Thank you for being heroes, not just of Cuba, but of the entire world."

    [a #video about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]

    #US Secretary of State #MarcoRubio posted a video on May 20 addressed directly to the #Cuban people, claiming the blackouts have nothing to do with the US #OilBlockade.

    We took to the streets to #Havana to see what people thought of his speech. Most hadn’t seen it.

    “It’s just that I despise Marco Rubio so much that it’s not even worth listening to anything he says,” said Lucía Miret, 76, a retired teacher.

    Most of those who saw it, rejected Rubio’s claim.

    “It’s no secret to anyone that the blockade exists,” said Daimara Pérez, a doctor. “If the blockade didn’t exist then they should let the ships in.”

  39. #Video - DOJ Indicts Raúl Castro, But Can’t Explain Why Now, 30 Years After the Fact

    The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has unsealed an indictment charging former Cuban President #RaúlCastro, now 94 years old, along with 5 other Cuban officials, over the 1996 shoot-down of two civilian aircraft belonging to #BrothersToTheRescue in which four people died.

    At a press conference announcing the case, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche faced several key questions about the indictment, including why it took three decades to bring charges against Castro.

    “I cannot explain or justify why now as opposed to two decades ago or 30 years ago when it happened,” Blanche said.

    Another major question remains unresolved: how the #US plans to bring the 94-year-old #Cuban leader to trial from a country that has no extradition treaty with Washington.
