Nuestra América Convoy Arriving in Havana

The Nuestra América Convoy to Cuba, an international coalition of movements, trade unionists, parliamentarians, humanitarian organizations and public figures, will be arriving in Cuba in the coming days. They will deliver more than twenty tons of aid, including four tons of medicine.

The convoy includes prominent political and cultural figures, including Jeremy Corbyn, Clara López, Pablo Iglesias, Hasan Piker, Kneecap, Chris Smalls, Daniela Serrano, María Fernanda Carrascal, Gerardo Pisarello, Orlando Silva, Marc Botenga, Rud Rafael, and Thiago Ávila.

The convoy also includes Cuban Americans.

“I want engagement between our countries — not siege,” said Danny Valdes, co-founder of Cuban Americans for Cuba. “The policies coming out of Washington today punish ordinary Cuban families while claiming to act in our name. That is why we are travelling to Havana: to show that solidarity across the Florida Straits is stronger than the politics of blockade.”

“From the global movement that helped end apartheid in South Africa to the flotillas that sailed to challenge the siege of Gaza, international solidarity has repeatedly emerged to confront injustice,” said David Adler, one of the convoy’s organizers.

Belly of the Beast will be covering the convoy. Stay tuned!
