Cuba is Not Alone! Delegation Reportback & Next Steps

Dear SendMeYourNews, First and foremost, we want to thank YOU for contributing to our efforts. IFCO was able to bring a delegation of twenty three community and faith leaders, and over two thousand pounds of humanitarian aid to Cuba as part of The Nuestra America Convoy in March. We met in La Havana with over six hundred participants from over thirty- three countries as an international show of solidarity with our Cuban siblings. It is clear: Cuba is not, and will never be alone.  Our delegation returned from Havana with more than photographs and testimonies. We returned with the weight of what we saw and with a renewed sense of responsibility to share with all who will listen, a message of solidarity and resilience. Our Cuban family - workers, mothers, children, elders - are a besieged people refusing to surrender their dignity, their sovereignty, or their revolutionary project despite sixty-seven years of sustained economic warfare designed to break them. We will not surrender our solidarity.  We invite you to join us. The work is here, and it cannot wait. We need you!  We invite you to a more detailed reportback and to discuss next steps with us on Monday, April 13th 8pm EST. Register for Reportback National Education Campaign for Humanitarian Aid We are officially launching our nationwide education campaign to fundraise for a shipment of aid to Cuba containing medical supplies, school supplies, food, and other critical goods. These events will take place across five regions of the country: the Northeast, the South, the Midwest, the Plains & Mountains, and the West coast. Please reach out to us if you are interested in coordinating an educational fundraising event with IFCO. We all have talents to contribute in our struggle to end the blockade on Cuba.  This Sunday, April 5th in Orange, NJ at 2pm there will be a panel with IFCO organizers and community leaders who will share more about their experiences in The Nuestra America Convoy and IFCO delegation to Cuba in March, as well as next steps.
