| CCDS Statement: END THE BLOCKADE!
The Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism (CCDS) is raising money for desperately needed medical aid to Cuba, as the country confronts the worst economic crisis in its history. The United States now is blockading oil shipments to Cuba which is resulting in hospital blackouts, increased danger of patient deaths, and Cubans living in rural areas not even making it to hospitals. “The U.S. is using its spurious inclusion of Cuba on the list of “State Sponsors of Terrorism” to wield increasingly punitive measures that limit the supply of food, fuel and basic medical supplies. To bolster this inhumane policy, right-wing members of Congress are slipping new, outrageous sanctions into broad budget legislation aimed at keeping the U.S. government running. The U.S. is refusing to remove Cuba from its “terrorism list” even as Washington and Havana regularly hold counter-terrorism cooperation talks instituted during the Obama administration. This “terrorism” designation blocks Cuba from accessing the international banking system and prevents other countries from carrying on normal trade with Havana.” (Global Health Partners).
