Responding to the escalating actions of the Trump Administration to try and heap more suffering on heroic Cuba the National Network on Cuba – NNOC has called on all its member organizations to initiate actions across the US from March 8 – March 15. Resumen Latinoamericano, a member organization of the NNOC, is joining this call for all of our subscribers to mobilize at this critical time. Trump and Rubio want to crush Cuba because it gives a glimpse of what a society, democratically governed around the needs of the people, looks like. To the criminals in the White House Cuba represents a disobedient nation that stands for peace, co operation and mutual respect between nations; not dominance and greed.
CALLING ALL FRIENDS OF CUBA! Join the WEEK OF ACTION IN DEFENSE OF CUBA | #OFFTHELIST Week of Action in Defense of Cuba – March 8th – March 15th
Peace friends,
On March 15, 2026, we mark the 148th anniversary of the Protest of Baraguá – a glorious moment in Turtle Island’s history of anti-colonial resistance. On that day in 1878, Antonio Maceo and a group of independence fighters refused to accept a peace that would compromise on Cuban independence. When Spain tried to impose the Pact of Zanjón, which ended the Ten Years’ War without securing Cuba’s freedom or the abolition of slavery, Maceo’s reply was dignity itself: “No, we do not accept a peace without independence.” That meeting under the mango trees became a symbol of revolutionary integrity, what José Martí would later call “the most glorious of our history.” More than a century later, Fidel Castro Ruz reflected that in moments of difficulty during the revolutionary struggle, it was the spirit of Baraguá that inspired new generations of Cuban revolutionaries to persist, to resist, to refuse a false peace.
Today, that spirit calls to us again.
As the U.S. escalates the blockade, weaponizes fuel access, maintains Cuba on the State Sponsors of Terrorism list, and threatens overthrow of the Revolution – we must respond with the same steadfastness, the same dignity, and the same refusal to accept injustice as embodied by Maceo, Marti, and Fidel.
Join the National Week of Action in Defense of Cuba, March 8–15, 2026, coinciding with the International U.S.-Cuba Normalization Conference and the Baraguá anniversary.
