That was fast! Great work to everyone who has spent so much time on 
this!  We can't help but wonder if the indirect pressure from the 
solidarity movement through a renewed international presence in Cuba in 
recent weeks for May Day played a role in this timing?

Help us celibate at our upcoming event!

*/CUBA 2022- EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS FROM INTERNATIONAL MAY DAY BRIGADE AND 
OTHER DELEGATIONS/*

Please join us on *_Tuesday, May 24^th 7-9 PM EDT_*, to hear about the 
experiences of the International May Day Brigade. The US delegation 
joined hundreds of Brigadistas from around the world for two weeks of 
meetings with union workers, farmers, neighborhood groups, health and 
scientific workers, women’s groups, and artists! Come hear about their 
experiences and about their joining in with five million Cubans who were 
out in the streets on May Day supporting the revolution!

Also, learn about the experiences from two other recent delegations to 
Cuba, including IFCO/Pastors for Peace’s Friendship Caravan, delivering 
much needed medical supplies. And hear about first-hand experience with 
Cuba’s health care and response to COVID and the Cuban perspective on 
the impact of the Brigade!

Join us for an active dialogue and discussion from US and Cuban speakers 
and to support the upcoming IFCO Friendship Caravan this July.
