🇨🇺 We honor Cuban Liberation Day and Victory Day. 67 years ago, the Cuban people overthrew Fulgencio Batista's U.S.-backed dictatorship, beginning a revolutionary process that would transform the island…and the world.
From the start, the revolution was met with aggression: Washington's severed ties, the Bay of Pigs invasion, assassination attempts, the illegal blockade, etc.
Despite relentless attacks, Cuba has refused submission, prioritizing housing, education, healthcare, and food as rights, even achieving one of the highest global doctor-to-patient ratios and eradicating illiteracy.
✊🏽 “What the imperialists cannot forgive us for is the dignity, the integrity, the courage, and the revolutionary spirit of the Cuban people.” — Fidel Castro
Cuba hasn't just inspired global imagination, but has materially assisted through medical internationalism, disaster relief, and education.
This New Year’s Day, we honor the Cuban Revolution and reject another year of a blockade that strangles access to food, fuel, medicines, and medical equipment.
