Expression of Solidarity:<\/strong><\/div>
Against the Blockade and Sanctions of Cuba and around the world<\/strong><\/div>
We stand with the people of Cuba . . .<\/strong><\/div>
And Palestine, Haiti, Colombia, Korea, Venezuela, Yemen and other targeted nations<\/strong><\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
A coalition of organizations will hold a protest and \u201cAn Expression of Solidarity\u201d on Wednesday, August 11th,\u00a0at 5:30pm at One Gateway Plaza, Newark, New Jersey.\u00a0(Next to NY PATH at Penn Station, Newark)<\/strong><\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
This event is part of a monthly series where NJ supporters of peace and opponents of war and imperialism unite at the US Senate offices of Booker and Menendez \u2013 2 Senators who regularly vote for U.S militarism, starvation sanctions and war.\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
This next event will highlight support for the Cuban nation and people in their efforts to stave off growing hostilities including the illegal and murderous blockade, covert and overt actions and threat of possible military action by the US and or its military partners.<\/strong><\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
A statement released by the coalition reads, in part:<\/strong><\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
\u201cWE DEMAND AN END TO THE U.S. BLOCKADES, SANCTIONS AND REGIME CHANGE MILITARY OPERATIONS IN CUBA AND THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE WORLD!!”<\/strong><\/em><\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Furthermore, we condemn the\u00a0hypocrisy of the resolution that Senators Menendez and Booker supported, stating that they support the\u00a0demonstrations in Cuba following\u00a0\u201cmonths of severe shortages of food and basic medicine, frequent power out-ages, record high rates of transmission of COVID\u201319, and the Cuban regime\u2019s ineffective response . . . .\u201d<\/a>, while at the same time they both support the crippling 60 year embargo against the Cuban nation, which is recognized internationally as an economic act of war.\u00a0\u00a0Even the UN, for the last 39 years, including 2021, has called for an end to the embargo.<\/strong><\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
