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

    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.

  2. 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.

    Duration - 58:38

    [A #video #podcast about #Cuba from the podcast team #CubaAnalysisPodcast]

    In this episode of the Cuba Analysis Podcast, #HelenYaffe and #NinaBlodau speak to #radical #journalist and filmmaker #AbbyMartin from The Empire Files about the intensifying #US war on Cuba, the human cost of the decades-long blockade, political consciousness and how Cuba has resisted US #imperialism. Abby tells us about her first experience of visiting Cuba and, more recently, of interviewing Cuban President #MiguelDiazCanel for the new documentary Cuba After Castro, which undermines US propaganda aimed at manufacturing consent for an attack. Abby draws the connections between Cuba, #Palestine, and #Venezuela, and underscores the importance of #solidarity for all those struggling against US imperialism, including domestically.
