Cuban internationalism is proof that another world is possible

Cuba sends doctors, not soldiers, to troubled parts of the world: whether tackling highly infectious outbreaks of disease like the Ebola epidemic, or carrying out more routine but still life-changing operations like those of Operation Miracle in Venezuela, where cataract removal restored the sight of four million people.

(We publish here a speech delivered by BEN CHACKO to the Viva Cuba rally at Labour conference last night)

THE Morning Star’s motto is “For Peace & Socialism” and we are proud to celebrate Cuban internationalism, and proud too of our long association with the Cuba Solidarity Campaign, which has done so much to secure what I believe is now a wide understanding across the British left and trade union movement of the enormous contribution Cuba has made to the causes of peace and socialism internationally.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the National Office of Design are launching the #NoMásBloqueo poster contest

In all their various expressions, the posters should reflect the claim being made by Cuba and the international community for the end of the blockade which continues to be enforced by the United States and hurts the Cuban people. Designers, artists and students from Cuba and other countries may apply. The posters can be made by one individual or a group of up to 5 persons and more than one poster per participant may be submitted.
