General information

Cuba is in the grip of a punishing economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States for over 60 years.

We, La Vía Campesina - a global movement spanning over 80 countries - and bringing together peasants, fishers, land workers and food producers who feed the world, hold this unilateral sanction as the direct cause of the Cuban food and energy crisis. It has affected electricity generation, transport, healthcare and food distribution.

Now, Washington is tightening the screws once again, with the aim of destroying Cuba’s revolutionary project, subjugating its people through hunger, medicine shortages and the disruption of daily life.

At La Vía Campesina, we refuse to look the other way whilst the Cuban people suffer collective punishment.

Cuba has given the world far more than it has received: doctors in the most remote corners of the globe, life-saving vaccines, literacy brigades that taught millions of people to read, inspiration and support for cooperative organization, the widespread adoption of agroecology and, in all of this, growing solidarity and humanist internationalism to build a fairer and more sustainable world.

Now, as the U.S attempts to collectively punish an entire nation for refusing to bow down, it is up to us to repay that solidarity with strength and determination.

As José Martí so aptly put it: Love is repaid with love.

Main features and goals of the crowdfunding campaign

Your donations go directly to the Small Farmers National Association (ANAP), Cuba’s national peasant organization and a member of La Vía Campesina.

The ANAP is already in the process of building food and energy sovereignty through agroecology. Your contributions will further help ANAP peasant families to install irrigation and renewable energy systems, expand agroecological production, diversify local seed systems and strengthen small-scale cooperative processing to consolidate the production of healthy and nutritious food in a sustainable manner and ensure the people’s food supply.

The funds will also be used to purchase medicines, essential supplies and educational materials, prioritizing women, children and older people in vulnerable areas.

Why this is important

The blockade is not just a problem for Cuba.

It is a warning to all countries attempting to escape neoliberal exploitation and the capitalist system in order to pursue a dignified and sovereign project for the benefit of their peoples. If the empire intends to crush Cuba through slow starvation, it will do so at the expense of the collectives and individuals who believe that another world is possible.

This is a call to break the blockade through material aid, political pressure and international solidarity.

Together we can show that the power of the people continues to triumph over injustice, corporate and imperialist actions.
