Los Angeles Teach-In: Take Cuba off the State Sponsors of Terrorism List (SSOT)! End all US economic, commercial, and financial sanctions against Cuba!
2024-12-08 15:00 - 17:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Mercado Paloma, 3655 S. Grand Ave., Los Angeles, CA, 90007, United States
With a population of 11 million, Cuba, 90 miles from the US, exists as an independent, sovereign, and peaceful nation. Cuba exports doctors, not weapons or bombs. Yet it has been the victim of Washington’s bipartisan economic, military, and political war for 65 years. The daily cost of this brutal policy is $15 million a day! Since Cuba’s 1959 revolution, it is over $144 billion!
Along with the criminal blockade, Biden maintains 243 sanctions imposed by Trump. Especially harmful, Biden keeps Cuba on the State Department’s “State Sponsors of Terrorism” (SSOT) list. Cuba has never participated in terrorist acts. Since 1959 over 3500 Cuban civilians have been killed in terrorist attacks, planned from US territories with forces trained by US agencies.
Join us to educate and mobilize people to oppose the US criminal policies against our Cuban neighbors

Week of Actions for Human Rights Day: Protest sanctions on Palestine, Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua
2024-12-01 08:00 - 2024-12-15 17:00 (America/New_York) | Various
Actions in-person and online from December 1-15, 2024
Click Here for Full Events Schedule
Human Rights Day is observed annually around the world on December 10, the anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which enshrines rights that everyone is entitled to as a human being.
This Human Rights Day, we are horrified that the genocidal terror on Gaza is not only continuing, but spreading throughout the region. We demand that the killing stop! Many people are unaware, however, that thousands of Palestinians were being killed prior to the start of the Gaza war in October of 2023 due to the economic coercive measures (“sanctions”) imposed on them by Israel and the United States. Sanctions prevented the reconstruction and maintenance of crucial infrastructure, severely limiting the availability of clean drinking water and of electricity for hospital services, while the entry of food and medicines was also restricted. 98% of Gaza’s water was unfit for human consumption, causing rampant waterborne illnesses which were responsible for 12% of childhood deaths. Yes, sanctions kill!
The United States is currently imposing such economic coercive measures on 40 countries, accounting for one-third of the world’s population. So, this Human Rights Day, we demand an end to economic coercive measures! Sanctioned countries are insisting on an end to these measures that violate their peoples’ right to development. There is a growing movement to enshrine this right in a convention on the right to development. So, this Human Rights Day, we say: “human rights = right to development.”
We advocate for people-centered human rights, such as the right to education, healthcare, housing, adequate food, clean water and peace — rights that are respected in Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela. These countries have also taken a principled stance in international fora to stop the genocide underway in Gaza. Regrettably, this has caused them to be further targeted with economic warfare by Israel and the United States. This Human Rights Day, we demand that countries not be punished for upholding international law, and we demand people-centered human rights in the U.S.
This is a project of the Sanctions Kill / Americas Without Sanctions Campaign, International People’s Tribunal Against U.S. Imperialism, Zone of Peace Campaign and Friends of the ATC Nicaragua.
Endorsed by the International US-Cuba Conference Coalition
The Americas Without Sanctions campaign, part of SanctionsKill, raises awareness about the impact of coercive measures on governments in Latin America and the Caribbean that the U.S. has targeted for regime change — Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela — and advocates for the removal of those measures.

XV Havana Biennial 2024-2025
2024-11-15 08:00 - 2025-02-28 17:00 (America/New_York) | Havana, Cuba, Cuba
The most attractive and distinctive thing about the Havana Biennial is its ability to take the city as a setting. However, the visual proposal in traditional spaces such as art galleries, studios, or museums is wide and varied. Artists are invited to create together in the communities, as a profitable exchange experience and its extension to other cities in the country is planned.
The Havana Biennial, founded in 1984, is a contemporary art event organized by the Wifredo Lam Center whose fundamental purpose is to contribute to the better knowledge and dissemination of the visual arts of Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, and the Caribbean and their diásporas. It is considered “the first biennial of Latin American art.”

Rally Against the US Blockade on Cuba - San Francisco
2024-10-30 19:30 - 20:30 (America/New_York) | Powell and Market Street, San Francisco, CA, United States
Every year at the United Nations General Assembly a vote is held to condemn the genocidal US blockade on Cuba. Every year the world stands with Cuba.
It’s not surprising to see that the countries collaborating on the genocide of Palestinians, United States and Israel, are the same ones who every single year vote against the people of the world to uphold the blockade.
From Gaza to Cuba, our struggles are connected. We must come together to say U.S. out of everywhere, end the U.S. blockade on Cuba and end the genocidal war on Palestine!

End the US Blockade on Cuba Human Billboard - Oakland, California
2024-10-26 14:00 - 16:00 (America/New_York) | Grand Lake Theater, Oakland, CA, United States
Join us to raise awareness about the growing global movement to END the deadly US blockade against Cuba. On October 29th and 30th, the UN General Assembly will be voting on a resolution condemning the commercial and financial blockade that the US imposes against Cuba. The General Assembly is expected to overwhelmingly condemn, for the 32nd year in a row, the illegal blockade which has put a stranglehold on the Cuban economy.

Countries around the world consider the blockade as a relentless attack on the Cuban people and their government! Time and time again, we see only the US and Israel voting in favor of continuing to punish Cuba.

The Bay Area and the entire world condemns the cruel and unjust US blockade against Cuba that has been going on for over 60 years, and the sanctions that have made life increasingly difficult for ordinary people on the island. We condemn the US hybrid war on Cuba and won’t stop organizing until the blockade is lifted, Cuba is taken off the SSOT list and Cuba can live free from US punishment and control.
