Building Solidarity with Cuba and Haiti from the Belly of the Beast Crisis in the Caribbean 

Makers of two of the world's most consequential revolutions, the people of Cuba and Haiti have paid the price for attempting to set forth a freer and more just world - with forced reverse-reparations, sanctions, invasions, and constant threats of "regime change." By July 2021, in diverse ways, these matters have come to a head. With our conversation on Thursday, we will try to come to terms with the complex responses of both peoples while keeping a focus on what we have to do - "we" as in the activists in the heart of the Empire. Our guests are long-time organizers, each challenging US imperialism and white supremacy while building power among social movements and communities in the United States.
