When a mother couldn’t find a place willing to employ her son Liván, who has #DownSyndrome, she decided to create one.

Liva Café in Havana employs people with intellectual disabilities and #autism, with support from specialists in #psychology and #SpecialEducation. For workers like Livan, Karel and Richard, it’s a place to earn experience, build relationships and show what they can do.

Cuba has long had policies aimed at integrating people with #disabilities into the workspace. But as the people in Liva’s story explain, significant barriers remain — particularly when it comes to finding employers willing to give them an opportunity.

Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla on Monday denounced the U.S. war on Cuba as collective punishment. He said the blockade punished the people, not the government, and cost the country $8 billion in the last year.

Despite a U.S. #oil #blockade and #sanctions, 1.4 million Cuban students returned to school this week after a long, sweltering summer.

Families rose before dawn, prepared uniforms and packed school bags while navigating hours-long blackouts and shortages.

We take you inside Cuba’s first day of school — and the extraordinary effort families and teachers make to keep children learning.

Video - U.S. Sabotages Cuba’s Hospitals — Then Calls Universal Healthcare a Failure

U.S. Rep. Carlos Giménez (R-FL) says Cuba’s healthcare system “sucks” and “doesn’t work,” pointing to hospitals without #medicine and deteriorating conditions.

But this criticism leaves out a major part of the story: the policies Giménez has championed are the reason why Cuba’s #hospitals are collapsing. #US #EconomicWarfare has restricted Cuba’s ability to obtain medicines, #medical equipment, fuel and other resources needed to keep its #healthcare system running.

Video - Cuba Can’t Keep the Lights On. Rubio Says It’s a Superpower

In an interview with Lara Trump, U.S. Secretary of State #MarcoRubio called Cuba a “superpower” and a threat to the #UnitedStates. Lara Trump said Cuba is trying to wipe the U.S. from the face of the earth.

So how does an island struggling with blackouts, fuel shortages and a deep economic crisis pose an existential threat to the world’s most powerful country?

Journalist Yohan Rodríguez breaks down the farcical claims by #Trump and #Rubio, which are used to justify current #US policy.

Goodwill or Good Marketing? The Contradiction Of U.S. Aid To Cuba

The #US announced $100 million in humanitarian aid to Cuba, some of which is now being distributed to vulnerable families through the CatholicChurch.

So we went to #Bejucal, one of the towns where the aid first arrived.

In a town of 22,000 people, the Church delivered 380 boxes of aid. Those who received it expressed their gratitude. But there is a stark contradiction at the heart of the US aid effort: Washington is offering relief from a crisis its own policies have brought about.

Since January, the U.S. oil blockade has worsened the living conditions of the Cuban people.

Lines of taxis stretch for hours outside Cuba’s gas stations — when fuel is even available.

Even when it is, they struggle to find clients due to the lack of tourists.

The #US State Department just released a 100-page report accusing Cuba of influencing virtually every major progressive movement, organization, protest and activist over the last 65 years.

Amidst a hodgepodge of distorted history and sweeping, conspiratorial conclusions, the #Trump administration uses the report for two purposes: to justify repression at home and regime change in Cuba.

Watch Belly of the Beast journalist Liz Oliva Fernández break down what the report says — and what it means.

At the #UNSecurityCouncil, Cuba’s Minister of Foreign Affairs #BrunoRodriguez called on the international community to act to prevent the “human catastrophe” that could result from the ongoing energy #blockade and potential #US #military aggression.

Thousands of Cubans would die defending their homeland,” he said. “And young US citizens would also perish, without a cause or ideal worth fighting for, dragged into violence by an #imperialist, neofascist policy of domination, plunder and conquest.”

Bringing Cuban agroecology to the next level

from #Rooted in agroecology and food sovereignty
July 15, 2024 | Leidy Casimiro et al. | Issue 1 Policies for Agroecology

Over the past three decades, the #Cuban people have made great strides in scaling out and up the practice, science and movement of #agroecology. This is often celebrated as an example. However, the adoption and durability of agroecology have been uneven across space and time. Recent policy reforms are laying the groundwork for the greater spread of agroecology across the entire food system on the path to #FoodSovereignty.
