April 19: Stand Against The Threat Of Imperialist Aggression On Cuba

April 11, 2026 Struggle-La Lucha. Resist! Cuba, Economic Blockade, International Day of Action, International Solidarity

From the International Committee for Peace, Justice, and Dignity, we call on men and women of good will to join the actions that will take place around the world starting April 19, in the Year of Fidel’s Centennial and the 65th anniversary of the victory at Girón, imperialism’s first defeat in Latin America. The damage caused by the U.S. blockade of Cuba over the past 64 years is internationally recognized; it has been condemned by the overwhelming majority of countries — with the exception of Israel — on 33 occasions at the UN General Assembly.

When Flotillas Fight For Life, Not Empire

April 10, 2026 Olivia Dinucci, Counter Punch. Educate! Cuba, Economic Blockade, Flotilla, Humanitarian Aid, International Solidarity

Flotillas have historically been fleets of military vessels—tools of empire designed for swift offensive or defensive operations at sea. The images they evoke are ones of imperial power and looming violence. Just look at the massive US naval buildup that surrounded Iran as part of the recent US attacks. But peace activists have also developed a new kind of flotilla. Instead of instruments of war, flotillas have become symbols of peace—acts of humanitarian direct action, civil resistance, and cross-border solidarity. Take the flotillas that have tried to reach Gaza, like the Global Sumud Flotilla.

A Ship Owned By Karpowership Will Supply Power To Cuba

April 8, 2026 Atilio Boron, Resumen English. Resist! Cuba, Economic Blockade, Energy, Floating Power Plant, Türkiye

Turkey is providing support to Cuba, where millions of people remain in the dark due to the tightening of U.S. embargoes and the collapse of its energy infrastructure. The ship, sent by Karpowership (part of Karadeniz Holding), has already begun generating electricity in Havana. Following the second total collapse of the national grid in a short period, which left nearly 10 million people without electricity, the Cuban government has turned to the Turkish model of floating power plants for their ability to offer quick and effective solutions, according to Yeni Akit Gazetesi.

I Support Cuba Because I Am On The Side Of Humanity And Life

April 6, 2026 Marxlenin Pérez Valdés, Orinoco Tribune. Strategize! Book Review, Cuba, Economic Blockade, Marxism

I met Gabriel Rockhill by chance, but not by accident. We were introduced by Helen Yaffe, a dear friend of Cuba, in January of this year during the International Congress held at the University of Havana to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Tricontinental Conference (1966). The current political climate added a unique dimension to the event: those present were standing up to the recent display of aggressivity against our country, which includes the possibility of armed aggression. That is why the meeting was not by accident. It was driven by conviction.

How US Sanctions Are Fueling Hunger In Cuba

April 3, 2026 Medea Benjamin, Popular Resistance. Educate! Cuba, Economic Blockade, Food and Agriculture, Food Insecurity

In Cuba today, food is rotting in the fields while families go hungry. On a recent trip to the eastern part of the island, I spoke with farmers who are watching their livelihoods slip away—not because they lack skill or dedication, but because they lack fuel, parts, and basic inputs. One farmer described fields ready to harvest but no diesel to bring the crops in. Others showed broken machinery they have no way to repair. Even those who have turned to animal traction are having problems with feed. These are not isolated stories; they reflect a system under siege.

A Weak Left Stands By As Russia Stands Up For Cuban Sovereignty

April 3, 2026 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Cuba, Economic Blockade, Energy, Russia, The Left, US Imperialism

Donald Trump recently bragged that he was “on a roll” after kidnapping President Nicolas Maduro of Venezuela and beginning the process of turning that country into a U.S. vassal state. Venezuela was the first domino to fall and the U.S. planned for Cuba to be next. An important part of this strategy was to end Venezuelan oil shipments to Cuba, along with threats of lawfare indictments against Cuban leadership as was done against Maduro, and demands that President Miguel Diaz-Canel step down. Already weakened by 67 years of unilateral coercive measures and the imposition of a State Sponsor of Terrorism Status, which increased the economic damage of the U.S. maximum pressure campaign, Cuba was in great danger.

Popular Participation And Socialist Renewal In Cuba In A Time Of Crisis

April 1, 2026 Isaac Saney and James Counts Early, Black Agenda Report. Strategize! Cuba, Economic Blockade, Revolution, Socialism

Central to Cuba’s strategy is the recognition that economic stabilization cannot be imposed from above. Deputy Prime Minister Oscar Pérez Oliva Fraga emphasized that the Program operates through continuous monitoring, debate, and public discussion. This reflects the realities of Cuba’s economic situation. As a small and trade-dependent economy, the country faces enormous distortions caused by the U.S. blockade and by its forced exclusion from the international financial system. The economic war’s intensification—including Cuba’s placement on the U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism—severely obstructs banking operations, investment flows, and basic trade.

Russian Oil Tanker Brings Help For Cuba

March 31, 2026 W. T. Whitney, Jr., People's World. Resist! Cuba, Economic Blockade, Oil, Russia

Streets and hospital corridors at night in Cuba are dark. Cars and buses don’t move. Cubans walk or ride bicycles. Trucks don’t arrive to remove trash, and so it burns. Offices, production units, and operating rooms are closed down. Older people and babies are dying when they shouldn’t have to. It’s been more than three months since a regularly scheduled oil tanker arrived in Cuba’s ports, with all incoming energy shipments halted since the U.S. government on Jan. 29 imposed punishing tariffs on any nation sending oil to Cuba. Finally, this past weekend, came a reprieve

International Citizen Solidarity Is Strong For Cuba; Nations Turn Their Backs

March 30, 2026 Ann Wright, Popular Resistance. Educate! Cuba, Economic Blockade, International Solidarity, Trump Administration

As 700 international solidarity citizens visited Cuba last weekend, Cuban-American Secretary of State Marco Rubio smirked at the humanitarian disaster his and Trump’s policies were wrecking on Cuba, as small island nation of 9 million people only 90 miles off the tip of Florida. Rubio had predicted the Cuban government would fall from the disastrous policies, particularly the blockade of fuel to the island. But Rubio’s plan was partially upended on Sunday night, March 29, when President Trump decided to allow a Russian oil tanker carrying 100 tons of oil to deliver it to Cuba.

The Commune And Popular Sovereignty In Times Of Imperialist Siege

March 30, 2026 Cira Pascual Marquina , Orinoco Tribune. Resist! Communes, Economic Blockade, Sovereignty, US Imperialism, Venezuela

I write these lines at a particularly difficult moment for Venezuelan sovereignty. The imperialist attack of January 3 and the kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro and Congresswoman Cilia Flores marked a new escalation in an aggression that now spans more than twenty-six years against the Bolivarian Revolution. This is not an isolated episode. It is a new chapter in a broad and multifaceted strategy aimed at taking away the Venezuelan people and government’s power of decision and, ultimately, reversing the political path inaugurated in 1999.

We Are Willing To Give Our Lives For The Revolution

March 30, 2026 Pablo Iglesias, Resumen English. Resist! Cuba, Economic Blockade, Miguel Díaz-Canel, Revolution

Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic, recently gave an interview to Spanish political scientist Pablo Iglesias Turrión on the digital platform Canal Red, which was broadcast on the Cuban Mesa Redonda program. The dialogue addressed issues related to the current situation in Cuba, the impact of the economic, commercial, and financial blockade imposed by the United States government, and recent acts of international solidarity. The conversation offers insight into the internal and external challenges facing the Caribbean nation, as well as the government’s stance regarding the humanitarian flotilla that took place in recent days.

Activists From Nuestra America Convoy To Cuba Detained

March 27, 2026 TeleSur, Orinoco Tribune. Educate! Cuba, Economic Blockade, Humanitarian Aid, Nuestra America, Panama, US immigration

Delegates returning from delivering humanitarian aid to Cuba reported interrogations and confiscation of equipment by immigration authorities, actions they describe as a strategy of government intimidation. The Brazilian activist Thiago Ávila was also the victim of an arbitrary detention in Panama City while preparing to board a connecting flight to his country. Members of the Nuestra América Convoy, a solidarity initiative that recently delivered 14 tons of humanitarian aid to Cuba, denounced the US government for leading a campaign of harassment and intimidation within the US and Panama following the activists’ return from Cuba.

A Call From Africa: Standing With Cuba Against Imperialist Aggression

March 26, 2026 Nicholas Mwangi, People's Dispatch. Strategize! Africa, Cuba, Economic Blockade, International Solidarity

Across the African continent, progressive movements, grassroots organizations, and Pan-African networks are rallying in renewed solidarity with Cuba at a moment of deepening crisis. While global media narratives often reduce Cuba’s situation to internal failure (a narrative activists and many Cubans claim is imperialist propaganda), African movements are advancing solidarity rooted in history and shared struggle. International solidarity with the people of Cuba is rising, with caravans of medicines and food supplies being mobilized to support the island in the face of the ongoing siege.

How To Judge Whether An Economy ‘Works’

March 25, 2026 Jim Stanford, Rabble.ca. Educate! Cuba, Economic Blockade, Gross Domestic Product, US Imperialism

Undeterred by the global catastrophe unleashed by its attacks on Iran, the U.S. government announced yet further economic actions against Cuba last week. Since its military intervention in Venezuela, the U.S. has illegally blocked oil shipments from any country to Cuba. That has caused electricity blackouts, blocked tourism (including by the one million Canadians who visit there each year), caused immeasurable economic damage, and now endangers the lives of dialysis patients and others. Now the U.S. is blackmailing other Latin American countries to expel Cuban medical experts who have long worked abroad –where they generate needed foreign earnings for Cuba, as well as supporting health care services in poorer countries.

Maximum Pressure, Maximum Blackouts: The Gazafication Of Cuba

March 23, 2026 Alan MacLeod, Mintpress News. Resistance Report Cuba, Economic Blockade, Trump Administration, US Regime Change

Havana is unusually quiet. A city normally buzzing with traffic and nightlife lies still, dark, and silent. The Trump administration’s economic strangulation of the island has led to frequent and extended blackouts across the country, creating an economic crisis and uncertainty about the future. “I can do anything I want with Cuba,” President Trump said recently. “I think something will happen with Cuba pretty quickly,” he added. The country’s electrical grid, public transportation systems, hospitals, schools, and stores run on imported fuel. And now that Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have threatened the world into complying with their agenda, including ending fuel shipments, Cuba is suffering.
