On April 27, 2026, the Embassy of Cuba in the United States participated in the textile design gala “Fashioning Power, Fashioning Peace,” held at the Woodrow Wilson House. The event brought together representatives of the diplomatic corps, designers, and cultural figures in a setting dedicated to highlighting the role of fashion as a vehicle for dialogue between nations.
A charter flight arrived in Havana with the United States delegation joining the 19th International May Day Brigade.
The brigade members arrived in Cuba along with donations collected through a campaign organized by the National Network on Cuba.
The aid consists mainly of medicines and medical supplies for Cuba’s public health system. Part of these donations will go to healthcare centers included in the program in Cárdenas.
Statement from the organizers:
This Sunday, April 26, a group of Cubans living in the United States gathered at the Plaza of the Flags at Miami International Airport to send a loud and clear message: No military aggression against Cuba by the United States—yes to dialogue and talks between both governments. No more blockades; yes to travel and remittances for Cuban families.

The recent joint operation between the FBI and Cuba’s Ministry of the Interior (MININT) to rescue a minor of U.S. nationality is a clear example that WHEN THERE IS UNDERSTANDING, COOPERATION IS POSSIBLE.
From April 23 to 26, 2026, Cuban poets will participate virtually in the Rio Grande Valley International Poetry Festival, held in Texas, United States, from Cameron County to Hidalgo County. The event is organized by FlowerSong Press, an independent publisher based in McAllen, Texas, which reaffirms its love for Cuba and its firm commitment to denouncing the cultural and economic blockade imposed by the Trump Administration.
