SUMMARY:Support the 33rd Cuba Friendshipment Caravan
DESCRIPTION:Support the 33rd Cuba Friendshipment Caravan\nThursday\, May 18\, 2023\, 7-9 pm\nCalvary Church 2608 Blaisdell Ave. in Minneapolis 55408 \nSince 1992\, IFCO/Pastors for Peace has organized 31 Friendshipment Caravans to Cuba as challenges to the US government’s economic blockade. These caravans have taken valuable humanitarian aid to Cuba but more importantly have helped demonstrate to the Cuban people that they are not alone and that they have allies even in the ‘belly of the beast’ in the US.\n\nFriendshipment Caravans have also played an important role in making dents in the blockade. We successfully resisted the Bush administration’s attempts to fully criminalize travel to Cuba\, and our work was part of the backdrop to the Obama administration’s partial normalization of relations with Cuba. Now we are actively resisting the re-tightening of the blockade by Trump\, which the Biden administration has so far continued.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored with the Solidarity Committee on the Americas.\n\nFFI: 612-827-5364

SUMMARY:Walk Against Weapons of War
DESCRIPTION:Walk Against Weapons of War \nSaturday\, June 3\, 2023\, 10:30 am\nComo Lake Pavilion\, 1360 Lexington Pkwy North in St. Paul 55103 \n10:30 AM Volunteer/Walker Check-In\, Como Lake Pavilion\, St Paul\, 1360 Lexington Pkwy North 55103 \nDIRECTIONS to COMO LAKE\n• From the south\, on I-94 exit north on Lexington Parkway. Cross Como Avenue. Lakeside Pavilion parking lot is the next right.\n• From the north\, take 35W South to Hwy 36 East. Turn south on Lexington Ave\, take a left turn into the parking lot south of the Pavilion.\nBus Route: 3 \nWALK SCHEDULE 10:30 AM Check In WAMM Table near the walking path.\n11:00 AM – Walk Begins\n12:00 Noon – Short Rally \nThis years’ walk is dedicated to Marie Braun\, whose tireless efforts contributed to years of successful walks for WAMM. In memorium. \nWalk Against War And The Weapons Of War \nWhat truly constitutes national security? Certainly not endless war or accelerating military buildup. The military budget was $223.43 billion in 1983\, $440.53 billion in 2003\, and is $858 billion in 2023. The U.S. has already spent $113 billion and has made a commitment to an additional $3.075 billion in “security” assistance to Ukraine. The world is suffering greatly\, both environmentally and economically\, from the continuation of the U.S./NATO war in Ukraine. Atmospheric levels of all three main greenhouse gases reached record highs in 2022. The war has disrupted energy markets\, driven a return to coal when use is at an all-time high\, prompted an increase in emissions-intensive arms production and use\, and become an excuse for governments to delay climate action. To protect people and ecosystems from further environmental damage\, we must stop military buildup that can only lead to environmental and human destruction. The legacy of escalating war is death\, havoc\, and environmental calamity. WAMM has repeatedly called for major cuts in the military budget and an end to endless war. However\, the budget continues to grow by leaps and bounds. This bloated budget is unconscionable given the serious problems facing our country and the world. Americans struggle to pay for food\, housing\, and health care. Climate disasters are affecting the entire globe. Let’s put a stop to this madness! \nFFI: 612-827-5364\ngeneral@wamm.me

This event became known as Bloody Friday and the strike established Minneapolis as a union town.\n\nWe will commemorate Bloody Friday by laying a wreath at the sight of the shootings. There will be several short speeches and some songs about the strike. Please join us in commemorating this historic event and paying homage to those who fought and died in the struggle for a better future for workers.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: Silvio Rodríguez - My First Calling
DESCRIPTION:Film Screening: Silvio Rodriquez – My First Calling\nWednesday\, July 26\, 2023 at 7 pm\nLind Hall Room 302\, U of Minnesota East Bank\n207 Church St SE in Minneapoolis\n\n\nWhat Difference Could a Revolution Make? Lessons from Cuba’s Literacy Campaign\n\nThis year’s July 26th is the 70th anniversary of the attack on the U.S.-backed Fulgencio Batista dictatorship’s Moncada barracks in Santiago\, led by Fidel Castro. This was the opening gun of the Cuban Revolution. This year is also the 125th anniversary of Washington’s invasion of Cuba. This meeting will discuss one of the earliest great accomplishments of the Cuban revolution – the 1961 literacy campaign\, when a quarter of a million volunteers\, the brigadistas\, who were mostly young women\, went to every corner of Cuba to teach people to read and write. They packed their bags and set out for the remotest villages\, many without electricity or running water. In a little over a year\, literacy rates in Cuba went from only 60%-76% to almost 100%.\n\nWhy did the Cuban revolution prioritize literacy? What can we learn from this campaign?\n\nProgram:\nFilm: Silvio Rodríguez: My First Calling\nGlobal music giant Silvio Rodriguez recounts his coming of age story as a volunteer on the youth brigades of the 1961 Cuban Literacy Campaign.\n\nSpeakers:\n• Matthew Streitz\, Young Democratic Socialists of America\, University of Minnesota\n• Gary Prevost\, Member\, Minnesota Cuba Committee\, Professor Emeritus of Political Science and Latin American Studies\, College of St. Benedict/St. John’s University\n\nWednesday\, July 26\, 2023\, 7:00 p.m.\nLind Hall-Room 302\, 207 Church St. SE\, University of Minnesota East Bank campus\n\nSponsored by: Minnesota Cuba Committee\, Young Democratic Socialist of America\, University of Minnesota\, Solidarity Committee on the Americas\nFor more information: mncuba@gmail.com\, https://www.facebook.com/MNCubaCmte/

SUMMARY:July Cuba Car Caravan (in St. Paul) Second Anniversary!
DESCRIPTION:July Cuba Car Caravan (in St. Paul) Second Anniversary!\nSunday\, July 30\, 2023\, 1-3 pm\nTarget Store\, Midway\, 1300 University Ave W in Saint Paul 55104 \nNOTE THE NEW LOCATION – IN ST. PAUL!!\n\nIt’s SCOTA’s and MN Cuba Committee’s 2nd caravan anniversary! JOIN US at Midway St. Paul’s Target parking lot\n1300 University Ave W\, St Paul\, MN 55104 (gathering and rally at the parking lot closer to the Hamline Light Rail Station)\n\nWe join the nationwide monthly caravans first organized by Miami-based Puentes de Amor (Bridges of Love) to show our love for Cuba.\n-End the U.S. Blockade of Cuba\n-Take Cuba off the U.S. State Sponsors of Terrorism\n\nThis month we’re focusing on the continuation of Cuba on the list of nations that the U.S. designates as “terrorist.”\nMore than 10\,000 people and 100 progressive advocacy groups have signed an open letter urging President Joe Biden to end the Trump administration’s terrorism designation for Cuba and to reinstate Obama-era policy for the island.\n\nThe international outcry against the U.S. intentional starvation blockade of Cuba is growing. These actions powerfully refute the claims by anti-Cuba Senators Marco Rubio\, Robert Menendez and Ted Cruz\n\nNow in their third year\, the public bike and car caravans that started in Miami\, and led by Cuban-Americans\, have broken up that myth.
