History
The Hands Off Cuba Committee was formed in Los Angeles in 2019 and is affiliated with the National Network on Cuba (NNOC). Our activities include public educational programs such as video showings, talks from visiting Cubans, and report backs from those who have recently traveled to Cuba. We participate in humanitarian material aid campaigns including the FriendShipment and caravans organized by Peace and IFCO. We also support and organize tours to Cuba so that people from the U.S. can see the island nation for themselves, including those affiliated with RESPECT.[1]
The LA Hands Off Cuba committee promotes medical, educational, scientific, and cultural collaboration and exchanges between the U.S. and Cuba. We are committed to continue working to end US aggressive policies toward Cuba, as well as other Caribbean and latin American countries including U.S. regime change efforts in Venezuela and Bolivia. We support the struggles of popular movements of poor, working, and indigenous peoples of the Americas to obtain peace (economic, political and social), as well as en end to environmental destruction.
