CALL FOR NO WAR ON CUBA CAMPAIGN
The United States is escalating its imperialist threats against the sovereign nation of Cuba, calling for direct military intervention and regime change. The National Network on Cuba (NNOC) condemns these acts of aggression and calls for an international campaign to counter this escalation. The “No War on Cuba” campaign will use all means necessary to stop the United States from attacking Cuba. The NNOC and its membership of more than 60 organizations, will prioritize all efforts toward stopping direct militarism by the United States against revolutionary Cuba.
Action for Cuba Committees (ACCs) have formed in localities around the country to put this national plan into motion. We encourage people of consciousness everywhere to create new ACC formations or join already formed Cuba solidarity groups.
Everyday, there are new local ACCs forming to organize our work and bring about mass awareness of the crimes the U.S. government is committing against Cuba and its people. Each local ACC will use media, material support collection, pressure campaigns on U.S. representatives, pickets/demonstrations, and international brigades as tactics to make the struggle for Cuba known to the people living within the belly of the beast.
As we organize nationally, the NNOC has complete faith in revolutionary Cuba’s ability to fight imperialism. The Cuban people have shown through the overthrow of the US-backed Batista dictatorship and the victories at Playa Girón in 1961, that the revolutionary Cuban people will continue to resist all acts of aggression against their nation. Even as this aggression escalates, the Cuban government maintains an openness to dialogue and collaboration with the U.S on fair, respectful, and equal terms. But, the Republic of Cuba will never allow its independence to be compromised.
Today, the threat of military intervention is only a continuation of genocidal policy the U.S. government has taken against the Cuban people since February 7th, 1962. Since the triumph of the Revolution in 1959, the U.S. government and ruling comprador class has attempted to intervene and stop Cuba’s ongoing revolutionary socialist project.
Through unilateral and coercive measures, U.S. president John F. Kennedy implemented cruel economic, financial, and commercial blockades on Cuba, denying the island access to critical resources. In the past three months, the United States government has aggressively escalated and imposed a full energy blockade on oil imports, stopping any and all oil from entering Cuba.
The genocidal actions of the U.S. have denied thousands of Cubans access to resources required for urgent medical care, and has created conditions where doctors are forced to manually hand-pump incubators for newborns. The Cuban government and its people have shown resilience in the face of these attacks, creating alternative production systems in the areas of food, energy, and healthcare to support their self-determination and sovereignty.
Now, the National Network on Cuba calls on all forces to defend this campaign, including a broad coalition of organizers, revolutionaries, workers, teachers, students, healthcare providers, artists and celebrities.
Help send the message that millions of Americans do not support U.S. military conflict with Cuba! We call on all people who defend the values of the Cuban revolution, values of social justice, equality and self determination to join the No War On Cuba campaign.
The National Network on Cuba along with several international allies are calling for an International Week of Action, June 28th through July 4th.
Finally, the NNOC reaffirms its demands that the United States government take Cuba off the list of State Sponsors of Terrorism, and for the U.S. government to end its genocidal blockade on Cuba, a blockade that has only caused suffering for the Cuban people. Cuba represents a just future for all of humanity. If Cuba falls, then the worldwide movement for a just and peaceful future falls.
NO WAR ON CUBA.
Venceremos!
