Campaign to Get Cuban Medical Aid to Detroit to Fight Covid-19

Weekly Moratorium NOW / MECAWI Zoom Call

The Moratorium Now! Coalition invites you to participate in a video conference call on Monday, April 13 at 7 PM sharp to establish a Detroit committee seeking emergency medical aid from Cuba. (Info on how to register for the call is below.)

We are all stunned by the enormous death and destruction in Detroit caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This plague is especially hitting the African American community, disproportionally. While Trump promotes a malaria drug that is proving ineffective and even harmful to people with COVID-19, we know that Cuba has produced Interferon Alpha 2(b) and other medications which are showing promising results against the Coronavirus in China and other countries. We desperately could use those medications here in Detroit.

Although subject to the inhumane U.S. blockade, Cuba has been dedicated to developing and sharing medical breakthroughs, training people from all over the world to be skilled healthcare workers, and sending medical teams wherever there is great need. Several Detroit students have graduated from or are currently enrolled in medical school under full scholarship in Cuba. Cuban doctors and nurses are now in Italy, Iran, and 35 other nations, helping to save lives of COVID-19 victims.

We want to invite Cuba to help us now, as Detroit is being so heavily impacted by the virus. Governor Whitmer, under the current state of emergency, has legal authority to get help from other states and countries. Detroit needs the medications that Cuba has been developing and using successfully for COVID-19. Interferon Alfa-2B stands out across the world as a serious option, with promising results. We call for the governor to import, test, and if possible, utilize this drug to save lives. We also want Governor Whitmer to extend an invitation to Cuba to send doctors to Detroit.

Join us in our efforts.
