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.

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.

Since its founding in 1965 as the official organ of the Communist Party of Cuba, Granma has operated in an area of tension where reporting is not only about transmitting data, but also actively participating in the symbolic configuration of reality.

The kidnapping of a sitting head of state marks a grave escalation in US-Venezuela relations. By seizing Venezuela’s constitutional president, Washington signaled both its disregard for international law and its confidence that it would face little immediate consequence. (more…)
