The PDC is taking urgent aid to Cuba!

As Trump ratchets up the embargo on Cuba leading to increased food scarcity, power outages and collapsing social services, the Cuban Revolution is in acute danger. To withstand this onslaught, the country needs massive material aid, now! Our international fundraising campaign, launched last month, rallied behind the urgent need for solidarity that goes beyond paper statements of support and raised almost £19,000. Donations poured in from supporters and sympathisers in the US, Mexico, Germany, France, Australia and beyond. We thank everyone who donated to ensure that we reached our goal.

We are pleased to announce that comrades representing the PDC will be joining the Nuestra América Convoy to Cuba in Havana on 21 March, bringing much needed material aid to the Cuban people. In addition, we will be distributing funds to organisations that are actively sending aid to Cuba. Among these is Cuba Vive, a British-based organisation launched two years ago by Unison North West and the Cuba Solidarity Campaign. They are sending crucial medical supplies like wheelchairs, blood transfusion sets and paediatric catheters as well as food. Another is Let Cuba Live!, a US-based campaign initiated by the Party for Socialism and Liberation, which is raising money to send solar panels and generators to Cuban hospitals. Defend Cuba against US imperialism!
