On October 26 and 27, as part of the international campaign #TumbaElBloqueo, and before the votes in the United Nations on the Cuban resolution against the blockade, organizations in solidarity with Cuba took to the streets of several U.S. cities to protest against this policy, the unilateral sanctions and the unjust designation of our country as a state sponsor of terrorism.
The activities served to publicize and expand the campaign of food, medical, and solidarity aid to Cuba after the emergency generated by the passage of Hurricane Oscar and the impact of the genocidal blockade of the U.S. government against the Cuban people.
