*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.
