Cuba on Combating Climate Change
Most sustainable country in the world?
CUBA! The country that is implementing a 100-year plan against global climate change? CUBA AGAIN! A long-standing care for the environment, sustainable policies regarding reforestation, care of spawning areas and fisheries, protection of endemic species, and science-based agricultural practices, among many other initiatives, make Cuba an example worth emulating globally. For this reason alone, the environmental movement should demand that the US end its criminal blockade of Cuba (243 trade and travel sanctions imposed by Trump, kept by Biden), exacerbated by the effects of the pandemic & the global economic dislocations due to the war in Ukraine. Watch this awesome YouTube video, Tarea Vida, on Cuba’s comprehensive, 25-, 50- and 100-year plans to confront global climate change. Cuba produced several vaccines against Covid-19, immunized its population from 2 years old by end of 2021, and is sharing its vaccines (which don’t need refrigeration) and its vaccine technology with other countries for free. The 60-year economic, financial, and commercial war on Cuba by the United States has no parallel in world history. In addition to being inhumane and immoral, its extraterritorial nature is fundamentally undemocratic and contrary to international law. Down with the US Blockade of Cuba!
Request From Cuba
The video is in Spanish only. Granma article in English below. 17 media attended the press conference of El pan and Saving Lives campaign
Donation of powdered milk from Cubans living in the U.S. arrives in Cuba. Canal Caribe: https://youtu.be/joeFiPqnGKs The 60 year old blockade is inhuman, illegal and an attempt to destroy the Cuban people. The US writes openly about this in a government state department memorandum. To create tensions, hunger that would lead to an overthrow of the socialist government. We are returning in 2 weeks with the delegation of youth for activities at the Cuban aquarium and an International conference in solidarity with ending the blockade. We shall march with one million Cubans on May Day for sovereignty. We are collecting items for the aquarium for their children's programs if anybody wants to make a donation of items or money so we can purchase colored paper, pencils and pens. They have none of those items due to the fact they have no hard currency coming in from tourism to buy them on the world market. We have a non-profit if you want, it is City2Sea. The check could be made out to them but mailed to me at. 1616 Esplanade #4 Redondo Beach, CA 90277.

Un llamado al levantamiento del criminal bloqueo contra Cuba realizó la Conferencia Internacional de Normalización Estados Unidos–Cuba, que sesionó en Nueva York, con representantes de organizaciones de solidaridad con la Isla, movimientos obreros y participantes de EE. UU., Canadá, Colombia y Sudáfrica.
El encuentro promovió acciones de concertación solidaria y de proyección del trabajo para condenar las sanciones contra la Revolución Cubana, principalmente aquellas que recrudecen el cerco económico, comercial y financiero, como las más de 243 medidas bajo el mandato del presidente Donald Trump y que su sucesor Joe Biden mantiene.
Al evento llegaron mensajes de organizaciones de varios países exigiendo el cese de las hostilidades contra Cuba, y se activaron las redes sociales con saludos al evento.
En su inauguración, el representante permanente de Cuba ante la ONU, Pedro Luis Pedroso, agradeció las innumerables muestras de sensibilidad y humanismo hacia el pueblo cubano. Invitó a los asistentes a intercambiar sobre el enfrentamiento a la pandemia de la COVID-19, el cambio climático y el adelanto de la mujer.
En el panel sobre cuestiones de adelanto de la mujer y paridad de género, intervino Teresa Amarelle Boué, miembro del Buró Político del Partido Comunista y secretaria general de la Federación de Mujeres Cubanas, así como otras integrantes de esa organización. Allí se actualizó sobre el proceso de análisis del nuevo Código de las Familias en todas las comunidades de Cuba y del Programa Nacional para el Adelanto de las Mujeres.
Los participantes elogiaron la información recibida y comentaron acerca de la historia de las sucesivas agresiones por los inquilinos de la Casa Blanca contra la familia cubana, con las cuales han buscado derrocar la Revolución.

Cuba has defied the odds in the fight against Covid-19!
LA Cuba Committee joins antiwar protests demanding Russia out of Ukraine, US out of Guantanamo
On Sunday, March 06, Code Pink organized a protest of several dozen against the war in Ukraine calling for an end to Russia’s invasion and opposing U.S.and N.A.T.O. intervention/troops. CodePink activists called for “peace” with chants such as “what do we want? Peace! When do we want it? Now!”
The L.A. US. Hands Off Cuba Committee attended, set up a table and distributed flyers promoting normalized US-Cuban relations. We drew parallels with the situation in the Ukraine, advocating for Ukrainian self-determination to the situation in Cuba where the U.S. maintains 243 sanctions against the Cuban people and continues to occupy Cuban land.
Our signs said:
Russia out of Ukraine.
No US/NATO intervention.
US out of Guantanamo.
Our committee members were interviewed by TV stations 7 and 9 and additionally called for self-determination for Ukraine.

Cuban Statement on Ukraine
Declaration of the Revolutionary Government: "Cuba advocates a solution that guarantees the security and sovereignty of all"
-Havana, February 26, 2022
The American determination to continue the progressive expansion of NATO towards the borders of the Russian Federation has led to a scenario, with implications of unpredictable scope, that could be avoided.
The military movements carried out by the United States and NATO in recent months towards regions adjacent to the Russian Federation, preceded by the delivery of modern weapons to Ukraine, which together amount to a progressive military encirclement, are well known.
It is not possible to rigorously and honestly examine the current situation in Ukraine without carefully assessing the just claims of the Russian Federation to the United States and NATO and the factors that have led to the use of force and the non-observance of legal principles and international standards that Cuba subscribes to and vigorously supports and are an essential reference, particularly for small countries, against hegemonism, abuses of power and injustices.
Cuba is a country that defends International Law and is committed to the Charter of the United Nations, which will always defend peace and oppose the use or threat of force against any State.
We deeply regret the loss of life of innocent civilians in Ukraine. The Cuban people have had and have a close relationship with the Ukrainian people.
History will hold the US government accountable for the consequences of an increasingly offensive military doctrine outside NATO's borders, which threatens international peace, security and stability. Our concerns are reinforced by the decision recently adopted by NATO to activate, for the first time, the Response Force of that military alliance.
It was a mistake to ignore for decades the well-founded demands for security guarantees by the Russian Federation and to assume that the country would remain defenseless in the face of a direct threat to its national security. Russia has the right to defend itself. It is not possible to achieve peace by encircling or cornering the States.
The draft resolution on the situation in Ukraine not approved in the Security Council on February 25, which will be presented to the General Assembly, was not conceived as a real contribution to the search for solutions to the current crisis.
On the contrary, it is an unbalanced text, which does not take into account the legitimate concerns of all the parties involved. Nor is the responsibility of those who instigated or deployed aggressive actions that precipitated the escalation of this conflict recognized.
We advocate a serious, constructive and realistic diplomatic solution to the current crisis in Europe, by peaceful means, which guarantees the security and sovereignty of all, as well as regional and international peace, stability and security.
Cuba rejects hypocrisy and double standards. It must be remembered that the United States and NATO in 1999 launched a major aggression against Yugoslavia, a European country that they fragmented, with a high cost in lives, based on their geopolitical objectives, ignoring the UN Charter.
The United States and some allies have used force on multiple occasions. They invaded sovereign States to provoke regime changes and intervene in the internal affairs of other nations that do not bow to their interests of domination and that defend their territorial integrity and independence.
They are also responsible for the death of hundreds of thousands of civilians, which they call "collateral damage"; of millions of displaced people and of vast destruction throughout the geography of our planet as a result of their predatory wars.

Bruno R. excerpt on US destabilization
Cuban authorities rejected the holding of a "citizen" march through which Washington seeks to advance its strategy of destabilization against the Socialist revolution.
On Thursday, Cuba’s Foreign Affairs Minister Bruno Rodriguez rejected the stance adopted by U.S. State Secretary Anthony Blinken, who accused the Cuban government of preventing the holding of a march scheduled for Nov. 15.
“Such march is not an authentic initiative of our people, but an instance of the 'regime change' strategy which the U.S. trialed in Bolivia with the coup d'état against President Evo Morales. Trying to give such demonstration any legal or democratic foundation is to misrepresent its essence,” Rodriguez argued.
“We will not tolerate any interference in our internal affairs. If the United States is truly concerned about our country’s situation, it should consider ending the economic blockade,” Rodriguez insisted.
Previously, Blinken urged the Organization of American States (OAS) to speak out against the alleged violation of democracy and human rights in Cuba since the OAS Charter of the Inter-American Democracy establishes sanctions for governments that "violate" these principles.
"Cuba does not need the OAS nor does it want it reformed. We will never return to that Washington's old mansion,” Rodriguez said and recalled that this international institution has limited itself to observing so many humiliations to Latin America promoted from the United States.
On Thursday, the Nicaraguan ambassador to the OAS Arturo McFields also condemned that this organization did not recognize the results of his country's presidential elections even though over 200 electoral companions validated the transparency of the process.
"If this forum is called Towards a Renewed America, it must look to the future and not to the past with neo-colonialist and interventionist positions," McFields stated before the OAS General Assembly.

LA Abortion Rights Protest
Reports are coming in from around the country of local Cuba committees receiving AWESOME responses to educational materials on ending the US embargo and the gains of women in Cuba.
Los Angeles was no exception. The march and rally of 7,500 held downtown was young, militant and a wide array of very imaginative signs. Six other LA County actions totaled another 1,500. In Washington,DC-10,000+ . Phoenix 5,000, New York 3,500, Chicago 3,000. all where Cuba committees participated. Total nationally over 200,000!
Six LA Cuba Committee activists staffed a table, marched with a giant banner, distributed 1,500 flyers on ending US sanctions and highlighting gains of women in Cuba. Thirty people signed our mailing list and 24 bought buttons.
Special thanks to the ANSWER coalition, an integral part of our committee, for demonstrating in practice, how an organization joins in united action with others. An example for others who could learn from their example. We need less talk and more active commitment.
