The National Network of Solidarity with Cuba (NNOC) today ratified its commitment to contribute to the lifting of the United States blockade on the island and eliminate its designation from the list of sponsors of terrorism.
At the end of their annual report this Sunday, the representatives of the more than 70 organizations that make up the NNOC (National Network on Cuba) expressed from the University of Massachusetts in Boston, where they met, that this is a mission that "remains clear ».
They said they will seek to “actively change the foreign policy of the United States towards the people of Cuba by supporting legislative initiatives and lobbying projects that demand an end” to that hostility.
The NNOC stressed that it is also necessary to “eliminate the ridiculous travel restrictions and illegal US military occupation in Guantánamo (eastern Cuba).”
At the same time, they reiterated that they remain attentive to the fight against the threats and hostile actions of the United States towards the largest of the Antilles.
This requires, they argued, “promoting public campaigns to educate the American people about the reality and achievements of the Cuban people, while countering the misinformation and falsehoods perpetuated by the American administration and media.”
We also intend to promote cultural and educational exchanges, to amplify international solidarity and diversify the movement, said a statement that served as a conclusion to three days of work in which the delegates met in commissions and in plenary.
They agreed that they will focus their efforts around the vote at the beginning of November at the United Nations General Assembly, where each year, “more than 96 percent of countries vote overwhelmingly to condemn the United States' economic war against Cuba.” .
Together we are an unstoppable force and together we will make a difference. Together we will achieve “Victory in Unity!”, concluded the NNOC.
Beforehand, the participants in the conference received a greeting from Johana Tablada, deputy director general for the United States of the Cuban Foreign Ministry, who is in the country on a work visit.
In a virtual message from New York, Tablada thanked the NNOC for all its solidarity work and affirmed that despite the blockade, his country will continue to build social justice.
