MONTHLY PICKET ACTIONS TO END THE U.S. BLOCKADE ON CUBA!
During the latest session of the UN Commission on Population and Development, the Cuban representative, Juan Carlos Alfonso Fraga, highlighted Cuba’s achievements in healthcare and education despite the US blockade on Cuba, which has been in place for more than half a century.
As he stated, “Only between April 2015 and March 2016, the economic damages caused by the blockade against Cuba amounted to no less than 4.680 billion dollars. Wouldn’t there be an improvement in the quality of our services, life and our future if, in this short term, those billions of dollars would have been devoted to the Cuban economy?”
As friends of Cuba around the world, we have an important role to join the Cuban people in demanding an end to the US illegal blockade on their country. Join us in Vancouver in front of the US Consulate on April 17 as we demand:
- END THE BLOCKADE ON CUBA NOW!
- RETURN GUANTANAMO TO CUBA NOW!
- US GOVERNMENT STOP THE CAMPAIGN OF ‘REGIME CHANGE’ IN CUBA AND IMMEDIATELY STOP INTERFERING IN CUBA’S SOVEREIGNTY AND SELF-DETERMINATION!
