For over 60 years, the United States has effectively jailed the country of Cuba through illegal political intervention and economic war. And yet, while facing continued economic strangulation and political vilification, the socialist republic has survived. Recently, the Interreligious Foundation for Community Organization (IFCO) and Pastors for Peace held a virtual gathering with Alejandro García del Toro, second head of the Cuban diplomatic mission in Washington DC, to discuss the ongoing US blockade of Cuba and Cuba’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this episode of Rattling the Bars, we explore key takeaways from the virtual gathering and highlight clips from some of the speeches given by Ambassador García del Toro, Gail Walker (executive director of IFCO), and Samira Addrey (a graduate of the Latin American School of Medicine in Cuba).

A lot of Castro's success's was from money stolen from Americans and their descendants still have claims in Cuba, it's not a good idea to ignore legitimate grievances that's one of the causes of the George Floyd Protests…
Have you forgotten the Bay of Pigs??
Cuba helped Italy when none of its European neighbors would send any doctors. Where is Italy now?
What kind of news is that?! Cuban kids are still not going to school!
End the blockade.
They don't want Cuba to be successful because it would destroy their narrative about communism.
Ireland will always stand for Cuba, the tell tale of imperialism is too familiar.

The USA is imploding, growing more ridiculous by the hour.
It's Absolutely scandalous how so much of American political society and media mocks with sympathy and capitalizes on migrations, oppressions of immigrants and exploiting of desperate cheap labour, whilst with the same breath without thought vilifing those very workers today like those over 100 years ago.
We will see this american-irish narrative reheated to a crisp in the coming months with this Biden fella. But our hearts reside with Cubans, with Palestinians, oppressed peoples striped of freedom world wide.
