Let’s turn the page on U.S. – Cuban relations. We are bringing together solidarity organizations and Congressional staff to learn about the impacts of the U.S. Blockade on the Cuban people and to understand the increasingly aggressive U.S. policies against Cuba. We will discuss possible actions that we can take to support the Cuban people as they struggle with lack of food, medicine, fuel, and essential supplies.

Program Moderator: Simon Elliott, Solidarity Committee on the Americas
