Activists tell Congress to stop applying unilateral coercive measures and lift the blockade on Cuba
This spring constituents and grassroots organizations have been raising awareness in Congress and in public forums of the harms caused by Unilateral Coercive Measures (UCMs or “sanctions”). Sanctions have become the “go-to” foreign policy tool of the United States government, now impacting a quarter of the global economy and one-third of the world’s population.

Why South Africa’s Freedom Month calls for recognizing Cuito Cuanavale as shared African and Global South heritage under the NHRA and UNESCO frameworks
April in South Africa (SA) carries a particular weight. Freedom Month is the annual moment of collective remembrance that anchors our democratic identity around 1994: the unbanning of liberation organizations, the release of political prisoners and the long walk to the ballot box.
