    "The blockade is warfare.”

    That’s how Greg Levi describes #US policy toward Cuba after traveling to the island and seeing its impact firsthand.

    Levi, a #socialist candidate for the #USSenate in #Ohio, talked with BotB journalist Liz Oliva Fernández about what he saw in Cuban #hospitals and communities, why he believes US citizens don’t know much about Cuba, and why he refuses to stay silent despite the political risks.

    He also opens up about his working-class roots, his experience in the US military, his criticism of US democracy and why he chose to run for Senate as an independent socialist.

  6. Video - Inside the Cuban Café Where People With Autism and Down Syndrome Work

    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.

  11. Video - In the Face of Washington’s Threats, U.S.-Cuba Solidarity Strengthens

    While Washington doubles down on its economic war on Cuba, one young activist from Minneapolis packed his bag and flew to Havana. Lavish came not despite U.S. aggression, but because of it, to show #solidarity with the Cuban people.

    On #internationalWorkersDay, Lavish was joined by Josué, a young Cuban researcher who has been attending May Day marches since he was a child. The two come from different worlds, but found common ground in Havana.

    Cuba is living through one of its hardest economic moments in decades. And yet, there are people in the #US who choose to show up anyway, to stand alongside a people they believe deserve dignity, sovereignty and the right to live without the threat of war or foreign intervention.

  12. US to Allow Russian Oil Tanker to Reach Cuba, Breaking Blockade
    The tanker full of crude oil could reach its expected destination by Tuesday, providing a lifeline to the island amid intense US pressure.

    It would also reduce pressure on a #Cuban government facing a looming economic collapse and escalating threats from Washington, and show that, at least for now, the island can still depend on its longtime ally, #Russia.

    The #Trump administration had been enforcing what amounted to an #OilBlockade around #Cuba since January, threatening nations that had been sending fuel to the country and, in one case, escorting a tanker heading toward Cuba away from the island.

    The Coast Guard has two cutters in the region that could have attempted to intercept the Russian tanker. Yet the Trump administration did not order those vessels to act, according to a #US official...

    An alliance of progressive advocacy groups announced on Thursday their intention to organize a humanitarian aid flotilla – named the #NuestraAméricaFlotilla – to #Cuba next month amidst increased economic pressure on the island by the #US.

    Major groups participating in the flotilla include #ProgressiveInternational, an international left-wing activist organization, and #CodePink, a female-led grassroots peace and social justice group.

    The flotilla’s mission has been endorsed by a variety of leading international figures, such as Brazilian activist Thiago Ávila, member of Colombia’s Chamber of Representatives María Fernanda Carrascal and US Congresswoman #RashidaTlaib.

    Prominent left-wing American streamer Hasan Piker has confirmed his participation in the project.

  14. ‘We Are Sailing to Cuba’: Humanitarian Coalition Announces Flotilla to Break US Blockade
    “Together, we can break the siege, save lives, and stand up for the cause of Cuban self-determination,” said the mission’s organizers.

    Members of #ProgressiveInternational, #CodePink, and other direct action and advocacy groups plan to set sail for #Cuba next month in the #NuestraAméricaFlotilla, which they said is inspired by the Global Sumud Flotilla missions to break Israel’s illegal blockade of #Gaza amid the ongoing genocide in the Palestinian exclave.

    “We are sailing to #Cuba, bringing critical humanitarian aid for its people,” the flotilla organizers said on their website. “The #Trump administration is strangling the island, cutting off fuel, flights, and critical supplies for survival. The consequences are lethal, for newborns and parents, for the elderly and the sick.”
