Call for the celebration of the activities for the May Day and the International Meeting of Solidarity with Cuba

Workers, Trade Unionists and Friends of the World: 

The Confederation of Cuban Workers (CTC) and its trade unions, along with the Cuban Institute for Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP) and other Cuban political, mass and social organizations, invite you to take part in the activities commemorating International Workers' Day in Havana, Cuba.

We invite you to take part in exchanges with the secretariats of the CTC and the trade unions, to make visits to workplaces, to take part in the massive May Day Parade and the International Meeting of Anti-imperialist and Solidarity with Cuba from April 29th to May 2nd, 2024. These activities are devoted to commemorate the centenary of the physical disappearance of Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov Lenin, leader of the World Proletariat, the 171st anniversary of the birth of our National Hero José Martí, the 85th anniversary of the founding of the CTC, its organic process towards the 22nd Congress and the 65th anniversary of the triumph of the Revolution, all spaces to pay well-deserved tribute to the legacy of Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro Ruz, a fervent example of the solidarity of the Cuban people.

They will be developed with the incentive to continue to demand the lifting of the economic, commercial and financial blockade of the USA government against Cuba, intensified by the implementation of 243 measures imposed by the Trump administration and maintained by the current Biden’s one; as well as to demand the removal of Cuba from the spurious list of states sponsoring of terrorism, elements that have a negative impact on the well-being of the people, workers and their families. 

It will also be an opportune moment for political forces, social, popular and solidarity movements, trade unions and personalities involved to exchange views on the current situation in the world, the multidimensional crisis of the capitalist system, the impact of the genocidal war of the Israeli state against the Palestinian people and the neoliberal policies that place the market above the lives of human beings. 

We will celebrate this day with the decisive participation of the workers, the dignity and the creative resistance of the people, raising the banners of unity in diversity as a strategic weapon against imperialism to preserve peace, closely linked to development, and defending the achievements of the world trade union movement and the just causes of our peoples.

We, Cuban workers are grateful for the strong expressions of solidarity shown by our friends around the world and we reaffirm to them that, despite the restrictions, we will continue to participate actively in the consolidation of a socialist, democratic, prosperous and sustainable society.

Long live the May Day!

Long live international solidarity!

Proletarians of all countries, Unite!
